Bizet’s Symphony No. 1

OVERVIEW

Utah Opera Resident Artist alum Grace Kahl returns to perform Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a nostalgic and lush work capturing the simplicity and wonder of a childhood in the American South, and the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro—from one of Mozart’s most beloved comedic operas of all time. Continuing the theme of innocence and youth, Bizet’s Symphony No. 1 was written when he was only 17 years old, but published more than 60 years after his passing. Also featured on the program is Nathan Lincoln de Cusatis’ A Collection of Sand—a modern, mesmerizing work evoking the movement and shifting of sand dunes.
