“In a rare crossover, the PVS Classical Series and the Paradise Jazz Series cross paths for a weekend of unforgettable performances. Jader Bignamini will lead the DSO and the Paradise Theatre Big Band through Wynton Marsalis’s Swing Symphony, blending symphonic power with big-band swagger. The program opens with the world premiere of the new Suite from the opera Omar by Pulitzer Prize-winning composers Rhiannon Giddens and Michael Abels—drawn from Omar ibn Said’s 1831 autobiography, the only memoir of an enslaved American written in Arabic.” [DSO]
