Amy Owens, Soprano
Maestro Conner Gray Covington’s season opener reflects his aesthetic of JOY through musical expression. Composer Quinn Mason (b. 1996) wrote A Joyous Trilogy in hopes of creating a piece that is the “very embodiment of happiness and cheerfulness, an accessible work that would put any listener in a good mood.” Following this is Mozart’s exquisite Exsultate Jubilate (‘Exult, Rejoice!’), which the composer wrote at the ripe age of 23, featuring the stunning soprano Amy Owens. Dvořák’s 8th Symphony, known for its bucolic euphoria and the sheer joy of being alive in a world of natural wonders, closes out Covington’s program.
