Symphony: Unexpected

Immerse yourself in the unexpected as the Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra seamlessly blends music and visuals in this innovative concert. 

Three distinct works represent the ongoing, cutting-edge evolution of symphony music: Mothership (2011) features improvised solos and electronica, while Film Noir: Concerto for Electric Guitar and Orchestra (2023) features DJ Sparr's electrifying solos to deliver modern energy. Our performance of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition (1874) is accompanied by a visually stunning film. 

Produced at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, this acclaimed visual masterpiece, likened to Disney's Fantasia, adds a unique layer to Mussorgsky's timeless composition. Featuring a side-by-side performance with our Lake Michigan Youth Orchestra.  

This performance at the Lake Michigan College's Mendel Center Jenkins Theatre (formerly Mainstage), begins at 7:30 pm and is preceded at 6:30 pm by a pre-concert conversation with Maestro Matthew Aubin.
