Performance

Come join the UD Symphony Orchestra for our December 7th performance featuring a world premiere by guest composer Lina Tonia. Her new work entitled Mare Nubium ("Sea of Clouds") is a fascinating examination of textures, sound, and space. The performance will be accompanied by a short film created as a companion piece to the music by the composer. Opening the concert is the rousing Fanfare to La Peri by Paul Dukas followed by the enchanting and iconic Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun by Claude Debussy. Following a short intermission, the program will conclude with Jean Sibelius' orchestral masterpiece, the Symphony No. 2 in D Major, op. 43. <a href="https://bluehens.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS:ATHLETICS:SOM23:PO1207:&linkID=delaware-athletics&shopperContext=&pc=&caller=&appCode=&groupCode=SOM&cgc=&dataAccId=151&locale=en_US&siteId=ev_delaware-athletics">Purchase Tickets</a>*Online sales close at 3pm on December 7th.

ABOUT MARE NUBIUM Mare Nubium (the Sea of Clouds), is a lunar sea that covers a large portion of the surface of the moon. As with all lunar seas, Mare Nubium was formed by an ancient asteroid impact that triggered volcanic activity. This dark surface, which was created by an explosion, is described through the aesthetic character of the work. Some dense textural bouts lead to a main explosion. Through that event, a new and different environment is created with contrasting elements from the opening, which bring a kind of stability. The timbres alternate and blend after additional orchestral bursts, creating different textures within a sea of timbres as dark, distant and unknown as the surface of the moon. <div><div> - Notes by the composer </div> </div>
