Join the NSO for an evening of Love, Intrigue, and Adventure!
Our program includes the exhilarating Scheherazade and arrangements from the Piano Suites of Nathaniel Dett (arranged by our very own Eric Mahl).
R. Nathaniel Dett (1882 – 1943), an internationally known choral director, composer, concert pianist, and poet, championed the preservation of the black spiritual, which he called "authentic American folk music." Dett dedicated his life to finding a musical form to bridge the gap between the music’s simple origins and its concert performance.
Rimsky-Korsakov’s most famous work, Scheherezade, takes us on a fantastic journey through four dramatic tales based on the folklore collection, The Arabian Nights.
