Mississippi Symphony Orchestra Concert Alluvial Soundscapes

Overview

Alluvial Soundscapes

Inspirations from the river that unites us. A tribute to the ancient Mississippian Culture featuring clarinetist Ken Graves.

History meets symphony in composer James Lee III’s Visions of Cahokia, inspired by the ancient capital of Mississippian Native American culture that flourished along the waterways of North America before European contact. Hear a spiritual nod to the mighty Mississippi in Duke Ellington’s The River, and an impressionistic journey out to sea in Debussy’s atmospheric La Mer, while Copland’s gorgeously fluid Clarinet Concerto gets star treatment by MSO’s own Ken Graves.
