The Austin Symphony Orchestra pairs Missy Mazzoli’s contemporary work with Poulenc’s Gloria, featuring Chorus Austin, and Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé in a program for chorus and orchestra.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The most distinctive choice in Daphnis & Gloria is the company Mazzoli’s The Shield of the Heart is the Heart keeps: Poulenc’s Gloria with Chorus Austin and Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé. The Long Center describes the concert as a meeting of contemporary and classical traditions, with voice and texture as central threads.
The announced repertoire places Mazzoli’s The Shield of the Heart is the Heart alongside Poulenc’s Gloria and Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé. The Austin Symphony Orchestra presents the concert as a program for chorus and orchestra, rather than a single-work feature.
Chorus Austin is specifically associated with Gloria, giving listeners a clear choral point of reference within the three-work program. The Long Center’s description emphasizes the relationship between newer and classical music, and calls attention to voice and texture without prescribing how a particular passage will sound.
