Ravel, Janáček, and Illustrating Sound with Virginia Symphony Orchestra

Eric Jacobsen, conductor
Alex Sopp, visual artist
Virginia Symphony Orchestra Chorus
One of the “most beautiful creations in all of French music” (Igor Stravinsky), Ravel’s Second Suite from Daphnis and Chloe lushly depicts a love that survives against all odds. Unifying visuals with sound, “beautifully nuanced” (New York Times) artist Alex Sopp creates a stop-motion animated film to accompany Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw's The Mountain that Loved a Bird. The orchestra is augmented by an enormous brass section for the invigorating Czech melodies and dance rhythms of Janáček’s revolutionary Sinfonietta.
These performances are made possible through a generous gift from the Susan Goode Performance Fund.
