Jacobsen Series: Sphinx Virtuosi Concert Broadcast @ Broadcast online via Schneebeck LIVE
Tickets
Feb 5 @ 7:30 pm

Sphinx Virtuosi is one of the nation’s most dynamic professional chamber orchestras, comprised of 18 top Black and Latinx classical soloists. This broadcast is part of a multi-event residency with Sphinx, a Detroit-based national organization dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts.

Led by Puget Sound’s School of Music in partnership with African American Studies, Tacoma Public Schools, Tacoma Youth Symphony Association, and the Tacoma Youth Chorus; this concert is the first of two public performances and numerous community events. The residency is made possible through support from the Matthew Norton Clapp Visiting Artists Endowment.

The Sphinx Virtuosi chamber orchestra will be performing works by Xavier Foley, Jessie Montgomery, Antonín Dvo?ák, Andrea Casarrubios, Leonard Bernstein, and Michael Abels.

The concert is free to all. Optional tickets in support of music scholarships and community outreach are available for those who wish to support the School of Music in this way.

We hope you will join us for this dynamic and engaging event!

Eternal Light: A Composition for Tacoma @ Symphony Tacoma Youtube Page
Tickets
Feb 6 @ 7:30 pm

Eternal Light is a “musical collage” of original works by local students inspired by Lux Aeterna, a movement in Mozart’s Requiem that expresses words of comfort and hope. It will premiere on Symphony Tacoma’s YouTube channel at 7:30 pm on Saturday, February 6, 2021. Preceding the premiere will be a Facebook Live conversation with the creative team facilitated by Symphony Tacoma Music Director Sarah Ioannides at 6:30 pm.

Over the summer, thirteen local students ranging in age from 10 to 17 accepted Symphony Tacoma’s invitation to create original music, lyrics, drawings and poetry that reflected their interpretation of “eternal light.” Maestra Sarah Ioannides, the project’s producer, has taken these submissions and weaved them into a new audio and visual composition to be performed and recorded by the youth who submitted as well as participants from Tacoma Youth Chorus, University Place Presbyterian Church’s Alleluia Singers (children’s choir) and Symphony Tacoma musicians.

“We hope this special project will bring joy to the hearts of many during these difficult times,” says Ioannides.
