KC Symphony "Creation" preview

F. J. Haydn "The Representation of Chaos" from The Creation
Milhaud La création du monde (The Creation of the World)
Avner Dorman Frozen in Time, Percussion Concerto (US premiere)
Dvořák Symphony No. 8

Join Michael Stern and the Symphony in a celebration of the Earth beginning with Haydn's "The Representation of Chaos" from The Creation, a gripping musical account of the primordial bedlam that reigned before the birth of the world. Milhaud takes a different vantage point with a jazz-inflected ballet based on an African creation story. Percussionist Martin Grubinger performs Avner Dorman's Frozen in Time, a work the composer calls "an imaginary snapshot of the Earth's geological developments from prehistoric times to the present day." Dvořák's thrilling and masterful symphony provides a capstone to this titanic program.
