The ocean as a force of nature and its reflection of human emotion have inspired composers across the centuries. Debussy’s La Mer (The Sea) forms a magical, ever-changing soundscape that has enchanted audiences for more than a century. Composer-in-residence Josiah Catalan’s ocean-inspired new work—commissioned by the DSO—will transport listeners of today and tomorrow. And cellist extraordinaire Evan Kahn will delight with two wonderful works you won’t often get to hear: Alexander Glazunov’s “Melodies” for cello and orchestra and Erich Korngold’s Cello Concerto.
