World Premiere of Judith Lang Zaimont’s “Stillness – Poem for Orchestra”
The World Premiere of Judith Lang Zaimont’s “Stillness –
Poem for Orchestra” will be presented by the Rockford Symphony
Orchestra, Steven Larsen, Music Director, on Saturday, January 22, 2005
– 8 PM at the Coronado Theater, 314 North Main Street, Rockford,
Illinois.
Ticket prices range from $15 to $38, with discounts for students. For
more ticket information, directions or other information, contact the
Rockford Symphony at 815-965-0049 or visit them online.
“Stillness – Poem for Orchestra”, a single 16-minute movement in three panels, slow-fast, slow, was conceived and completed in sketch-score during a Spring 2004 residency at Copland House – a magical environment providing utter quiet and long stretches of available time in which to ponder and focus intensely. Only is such a
place could a work of such specific and fragile nature as this be realized. It was jointly commissioned by the Rockford Symphony Orchestra with Maestro Steven Larsen, the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra with Maestro Crafton Beck and the University of Wyoming Symphony Orchestra with Maestro Michael Griffith.
