The LSU Symphony Orchestra opens the spring semester with a program brimming with vibrant and evocative works. The concert begins with Christopher Theofanidis’s Rainbow Body, a rich and luminous sonic tapestry inspired by medieval chant. Next, Samuel Barber’s quintessentially American masterpiece, Knoxville: Summer of 1915, will showcase the artistry of Lindsay Kate Brown, LSU’s new vocal faculty member. The evening concludes with Felix Mendelssohn’s majestic Symphony No. 5, “Reformation,” a powerful orchestral tour de force that celebrates resilience and unity.
