Coffee: From Silence to Splendor: The Year Of Silence Cerrone (+1 More)

For the first time in decades, the monumental Symphony No. 7 by Anton Bruckner will be performed by the Louisville Orchestra. Bruckner seemed to become a composer of symphonies overnight after hearing the music of Richard Wagner for the first time. Following the epic scale of Wagner’s operas and seemingly trying to reach a level beyond Beethoven’s Ninth, Bruckner wrote for huge forces and explored a soundscape that ranged from hushed mystery to terrifying. As the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians writes, “Despite a general debt to Beethoven and Wagner, the ‘Bruckner Symphony’ is a unique conception, not only because of the individuality of its spirit and its materials but even more because of the absolute originality of its formal processes.”

We open with a new work reflecting on the year of COVID lockdown by internationally acclaimed and Rome Prize winner, the composer Christopher Cerrone. The work is a co-commission and a world premiere.
