Dreams and Songs - Reverie, Resonance and Hope
Advertisement
The WSO continues with its season theme of "Celebrating Neighborly Voices" on November 8, 2026, celebrating the American Spirit - one that constantly moves forward, creating a better future. Inspired by Langston Hughes' "Dream Variations" this performance is about reverie, resonance and hope.
A distant trumpet opens a dreamscape of longing memory and hope. Tenor Darius Gillard, VP of Impact at the Minnesota Opera, joins the WSO for H. Leslie Adams' "Nightsongs" before the program rises toward William Grant Still's "Afro-American Symphony."
