MasterWorks VII: Voyage on the High Seas

April 26, 2025 7:30 PM

Overview

Welcome aboard on our grand voyage through Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No. 1 “A Sea Symphony”. With a text taken from American poet Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, the piece tells of the ocean itself, with its whistling winds and racing waves, while also exploring the sea as a metaphor for the journey of the soul through time and space and through this life into that which is to come.

The Canton Symphony Chorus is joined by Grammy award-winning bass-baritone Dashon Burton and soprano Bonnie Frauenthal for this monumental epic, never performed in Canton until now. Opening the concert is A Sea Poem by Irish composer Ina Boyle, a student of Vaughan Williams. Music Director Matthew Jenkins Jaroszewicz is thrilled to close the season with his favorite piece of music ever composed, and is honored to invite you along for the ride!
