Join the WSO for its first performance of the 2023-24 season, featuring two contrasting works from 1937: the visceral Sensemayá by Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas, and Dmitri Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, a stirring, defiant artifact of the Stalinist purges of the 1930s. In between, we present Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate's Spirit Chief Names the Animal People for orchestra and narrator. The work tells the traditional Okanogan story of Coyote's ill-fated attempt to beat out Bear, Salmon, and Eagle for the best name.
This concert will be presented in person at the WWU Concert Hall, and broadcast online via a free livestream on the WWU site.
