The program opens with Philip Glass’s mesmerizing Company for Strings\, a minimalist gem of emotional restraint and quiet intensity. George Walker’s poignant Elegy for String Orchestra follows\, a work of deep reflection and soulful beauty.  \nThe centerpiece of the evening features two celebrated vocal works: Aaron Copland’s Eight Poems of Emily Dickinson\, a haunting and intimate song cycle that brings the poet’s introspective world to life\, and Samuel Barber’s beloved Knoxville: Summer of 1915\, a nostalgic\, richly orchestrated reverie on childhood\, based on a prose poem by James Agee. Richmond native Alicia Russell Tagert joins the Symphony with her “bright and effortless soprano” (Fargo Inforum).  \nA journey through the soundscape of 20th-century America\, Voice of a Nation offers a rare opportunity to experience iconic works that illuminate the emotional and poetic heart of a nation.
