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.
