Augustana Arts: Stratus Chamber Orchestra: Searching, Stories from the Other Side

"History is a concoction of stories, and every story is told through someone’s perspective - but what happens when we consider the forgotten narrative of the other side? The epic story of Odysseus is one for the ages, known by generations throughout Western civilization, but few pause to consider Odyssues’ shipwrecked episode from the perspective of Kalypso. Adam Torres and the Stratus Chamber Orchestra will search for new perspectives and unheard voices through John Mackey’s Songs from the End of the World (with text by A. E. Jaques), alongside works by Borodin, Piazzolla, Whitacre, and Verdi. They will be joined by Grammy-nominated Lindsay Kesselman, soprano.
