Memory and Myth:
Music by Sibelius & an NSO premiere
May 14 & 16 | Concert Hall
Visionary maestro David Robertson conducts Mnemosyne’s Pool, an NSO co-commission from Grammy Award-winning composer Steven Mackey. Mackey’s work tells the story of souls who dared drink from the river Mnemosyne in Hades.
Sibelius weaves Finnish mythology into music in The Swan of Tuonela, a tone poem depicting the hero’s quest to kill a mystical swan swimming through the Finnish realm of the dead. The program concludes with Sibelius’s great First Symphony.
