‘Altered Landscape’ Symphony World Premiere

We conclude this season with a powerful grand finale exploring the marriage of art and music. Listeners will experience a brand-new symphony by Jimmy López Bellido, inspired by Nevada Museum of Art’s photographic collection, The Altered Landscape: Photographs of a Changing Environment. The composition explores the dynamic interconnectedness of humans and the Earth and envisions a hypothetical future where we exist in harmony with our natural environment. Then we explore an art museum in Mussorgsky’s mind, as he imagines walking from one picture to the next, characterizing each painting through sound.
