In an unprecedented collaboration, the UNCSA Symphony Orchestra and the Wake Forest University Symphony Orchestra perform together in a free side-by-side concert at Brendle Recital Hall on the campus of Wake Forest University.
Conducted by J. Aaron Hardwick, the program features Jean Sibelius’s radiant Symphony No. 3 in C Major and the world premiere of "Inter Alia," a new work for soprano and orchestra by composer David Kirkland Garner. Based on a poem of the same name by Ishion Hutchinson — a 2023 T.S. Eliot Prize finalist — the piece explores tree species native to Western North Carolina, including on the campus of Wake "Forest." Soprano Jodi Burns from the UNCSA School of Music faculty joins the orchestras in this unique collaboration, showcasing students from both institutions in a powerful celebration of nature, music and creative partnership.
