Dai Wei’s Samsāric Dance traces cycles of birth, death and rebirth. Baldwin Giang’s to remember is always forgetting explores “the rich space between sound and the music of memory.” Jack Frerer reimagines his solo cello work Steep with an infusion of orchestral harmony and rhythm. In What do flowers do at night?, Sophia Jani revels in the sonic combinations and possibilities of orchestral writing. Institute Director Steven Mackey provides the concert finale with his own Eating Greens.

The Symphony invites the audience to a post-concert reception to meet the composers and enjoy a special Cone-inspired ice cream flavor crafted for the occasion by our friends at the Bent Spoon.
