Join the Western Symphony Orchestra for an uplifting evening of music representing over 200 years of artistic and political history. The program opens with the world premiere of the dream-like Sea Under Stars by Amara Farah (BMus, 2025), winner of Western’s annual Composition Commission Competition. Next is the final work of the American legend Duke Ellington: Three Black Kings, an evocative triptych of the Magi Balthazar, King Solomon, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Closing the evening is the iconic “Eroica” Symphony of Beethoven, a work begun in homage to Napoleon Bonaparte, but later rededicated as a full-throated rebuke of tyranny and a celebration of the heroism of all who resist it.
