IVES Symphony No. 4
Reena ESMAIL RE|member
Wynton MARSALIS New Work, for cello and orchestra

The last of the three visiting orchestras presented by the Boston Symphony Orchestra this season, the Interlochen Arts Academy features cellist Yo-Yo Ma in a new work by composer and jazz ambassador Wynton Marsalis. Opening the program is one the great monuments of American music: Charles Ives’ spiritually searching Fourth Symphony has intricate, multilayered orchestral textures that are interwoven with rich allusions to traditional Christian hymns. Indian American composer Reena Esmail’s RE|member, is an energetic overture-like work exploring togetherness.
