Inner Landscapes: Depths of Expression

Hear it first! Orchestra Nova Northwest’s innovative and exciting program begins with a West Coast premiere of a vivid new composition Rainn by Karena Ingram, presented in collaboration with the League of American Orchestras and the Toulmin Orchestral Commissions Program. Portland pianist Maria Garcia brings dramatic elegance to Lūcija Garūta’s rarely heard Piano Concerto in F-sharp Minor—a powerful, expressive work from the 20th century. The program concludes with the vibrant optimism of Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8, a joyful ode to nature and folk traditions. From contemporary voices to lush Romantic soundscapes, this program offers both emotional depth and exhilarating beauty!
