FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SDSO’s COPLAND & MEXICO JAN. 2, 2018 SATURDAY, JAN. 13 AT 7:30 P.M. AND SUNDAY, JAN. 14 at 2:30 P.M. WASHINGTON PAVILION Symphony program explores relationship between composers Copland, Revueltas SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra explores the relationship between American composer Aaron Copland and Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas during a contextualized program on Saturday, Jan. 13, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 14, at 2:30 p.m. at the Washington Pavilion. Copland & Mexico, made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, builds upon the success of the 2016 Music Unwound program Dvořák and America, in which world-renowned musicologist Joseph Horowitz contextualized composer Antonín Dvořák’s work at discovering the sound of American music as influenced by Native American and African American music and culture in relation to his “New World” Symphony. Maestro Delta David Gier, the SDSO’s music director, says classical music has carried a multicultural element throughout the ages; in the spirit of discovery, composers have often paid homage to other cultures by incorporating indigenous music into their own works of art. Music celebrates diversity by focusing not on what makes cultures different but by focusing on what all cultures share. “Music is the universal language.” Gier said. In presenting Copland & Mexico, SDSO is again partnering with Horowitz, who scripted and produced the program and directs Music Unwound for the National Endowment for the Humanities. The first half of the program will feature SDSO performing: • Copland’s “Hoedown” from Rodeo • Copland’s El Salón México • Revueltas’ Sensemayá The second half of Copland & Mexico presents the 1936 film Redes, a black-and-white documentary about the Mexican Gulf Coast fishing community of Alvarado, with SDSO giving a live performance of Revueltas’ orchestral score. The program also features a pre-concert lecture in which students from Sioux Falls’ Memorial Middle School will talk about their educational projects designed in collaboration with the SDSO related to the political state of the United States and Mexico during the 1930s and 1950s and the art and culture of the era. A post-concert discussion follows Redes. Copland (1900-1990), born in Brooklyn to immigrant Jews from Lithuania, desired to expand his audience and absorbed a pronounced social conscience in the 1930s that was inspired by his world travels. A 1932 trip to Mexico provided musical inspiration for many of his works and also fueled his populist turn, and Copland often returned to the country during the 1930s and 1940s. Copland’s affiliations with various organizations and his numerous lectures given abroad drew the unwanted attention of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who called him in front of his anticommunist committee in the early 1950s. Revueltas (1899-1940), born in a rural village about 100 miles from Durango, was educated in Mexico and Chicago. Early in his career he played the violin and conducted in Texas and Alabama until Carlos Chávez recalled him to Mexico City to be assistant conductor of the National Symphony (1929-1935). Revueltas exuded a larger-than-life, hard-working and hard- drinking personality and identified with the common man. Mexican poet Octavio Paz wrote that Revueltas’ music emulated the “the sound of a primal chord, like the first light that escapes a world in formation.” For information, please contact: Dirk Lammers, Cetera Services PR and Marketing Manager South Dakota Symphony Orchestra [email protected] (605) 254-3472 PH: (605) 335-7933 301 S.
