| Emotions are stirred each fall across the U.S., with the solemn anniversary of the world’s most deadly terrorist attack.
On Saturday evening, September 10th and 11th, your Space Coast Symphony Orchestra will be Remembering September 11th in two unforgettable concerts.
Described as “a moving tribute to the victims and survivors, their families, and emergency responders,” Remembering September 11th will honor those whose lives were forever impacted by the 9-11 attacks. Opening the program is Samuel Barber’s moving “Adagio for Strings” in its original form for string quartet. The Adagio is well known for its use in films, as in the Oscar-winning Platoon (1986).
Falling Man by Grammy-winning composer, Kenneth Fuchs was inspired by the 2007 novel by Don DeLillo about life after 9-11. It was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra in 2013. The work, which includes interludes for voice and orchestra, will feature baritone Thomas Potter in its Southeastern premiere. A New York City resident for over 20 years, Kenneth Fuchs will be in attendance for the concert. Also on the program are Aaron Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” and John Williams’ “With Malice Toward None,” a passionate piece for solo trumpet and strings from the film, Lincoln. The concert will close with Samuel Barber’s powerful Symphony No. 1, Aaron’s personal favorite piece of music written.
Please join us this weekend. These are the concerts we need your attendance and support. Join your Symphony for Everyone for a program you’ll never forget! |
