Music Connects in East San Diego County – San Diego Symphony

Join us for this special concert featuring music by three important composers in music history. Sergei Prokofiev’s First Symphony, which was written in the style of the classical period, is paired with music by “the Father of the Symphony,” Franz Joseph Haydn’s London Symphony. These two works highlight the evolving sound of the orchestra – and the connections that music has across time.

Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate is a Chickasaw composer, who is one of the most important contemporary composers of our time, expressing his native culture in symphonic music. His work Chokfi’ is the Chickasaw word for rabbit, who is an important trickster legend within the Southeast American Indian cultures. Different string and percussion techniques and colors represent the complicated and diabolical personality of this rabbit person. In honor of his Muscogee Creek friends, Tate incorporated a popular tribal church hymn as the melodic and musical base.
