Northwest Sinfonietta: Freedom Song

Featuring vocal sensation Taylor Raven and area youth from Tacoma Urban Performing Arts Center, Tacoma Youth Chorus and Tacoma Youth Symphony, this program will inspire and move you. On the first half, Jessie Montgomery uses the stories behind five spirituals to weave her powerful Five Freedom Songs for voice and strings, followed by a suite of works by Rollo Dilworth inspired by the poetry of Langston Hughes. On the second half, Northwest Sinfonietta's strings premiere a new serenade by Quinn Mason, followed by Tchaikovsky's beloved Serenade for Strings performed side-by-side with members of Tacoma Youth Symphony.
