Sun, Sept 28 • 3pm
We are proud to collaborate with UNCA as they honor WNC’s resilience one year after Hurricane Helene.
Post-Helene “Remembering, Rebuilding, Reimagining” Symposium
The Blue Ridge Orchestra takes its performances on the road for its 26th season debut under the leadership of Music Director Dr. Emily Mariko Eng. “Post-Helene: Remembering, Rebuilding, Reimagining” captures an array of emotions this September. We are proud to collaborate with UNCA as they honor WNC’s resilience one year after Hurricane Helene, Post-Helene “Remembering, Rebuilding, Reimagining” Symposium.
Through music, we reflect on the impact of Hurricane Helene, one year later. This program features: the world premiere of Sinfonietta Helene by Asheville-based composer Jay Sanders; Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht, which is inspired by the beauty of nature and the impact of climate change; Elgar’s “Nimrod” from Enigma Variations to honor the memories of the people and places we lost; and local composer Phillip Rhodes’s Concerto for Bluegrass, a nod to the resilience of WNC.
