Symphony Orchestra is proud to present a piece commissioned from Nancy Ives, composer and principal cello for the Oregon Symphony. This piece draws inspiration from Pando, the world’s largest tree. In a high mountain basin in central Utah, Pando is comprised of 40,000 aspen stems that appear as individual trees, but all belong to a genetically identical tree connected by a massive interwoven root system across 106 acres.

Additionally, the show will feature Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 (also known as the Pastoral Symphony), the world premiere of a piece by student composer Charlie Martin as part of The Authentic Voice student commissioning series, and showcase of one of the winners of MYS’ annual Concerto Competition.
