Daniel Nesta Curtis, Interim Director of Orchestral Studies, will be conducting this remarkable program which includes a violin concerto played by Andrew Gray, the student winner of last year’s Philharmonic Soloist Competition, and a new work from the first opera written in the Chickasaw language. Curtis said, “I am especially excited that composer Jerod Tate will be joining us to perform the narration to his composition “Spider Brings Fire,” an excerpt from his opera, Lowak Shoppala’. Jerod’s music is incredibly powerful, his orchestration is wildly colorful, and I love the way his composition brings the audience through a story, beautifully written by Linda Hogan.”
