Our season begins with an opera orchestrated specifically for Symphony of the Redwoods, and concludes with Richard Bennet’s descriptive celebration of life, Serenade. We will feature internationally renowned soprano Laura Bohn, who brings her fearless approach to the world premiere performance of Erling Wold’s "Suite from ‘Certitude and Joy’". This haunting and moving work includes the climactic scene of this powerful and thought-provoking opera.
Laura continues with a set of songs from Canteloube's Chant d’Auvergne that weaves regional folk songs with an exotic blend of harmonies and melody from his home in the Auvergne region of France. Bennett’s energetic neo-classical Serenade, enhanced by the use of a piano, trombone and a variety of percussion, concludes the concert. Bright glockenspiel, earthy bongos, wood block, xylophone and tambourine will round out the rhythmic finale. Thus begins our 24-26 season!
