Eric Jacobsen, conductor
Alex Sopp, visual artist
Virginia Symphony Orchestra Chorus
One of the "most beautiful creations in all of French music," Ravel's Second Suite from Daphnis and Chloe lushly depicts a love that survives against all odds. Unifying visuals with sound, "beautifully nuanced" artist Alex Sopp creates a stop-motion animated film to accompany Janáček's Sinfonietta. Czech melodies and dance rhythms combined with the sound of an enormous brass ensemble and full orchestra unite this piece in a way that is revolutionary to this day.
These performances are made possible through a generous gift from the Susan Goode Performance Fund.
