Wyner – Fragments from Antiquity (1978-81, revised 2010-11) WORLD PREMIERE
Dominique Labelle, Soprano
Brahms – Symphony No. 4

National winner of the Metropolitan Opera competition Dominique Labelle joins the Lexington Symphony for an exciting concert featuring a world premiere and Brahms’ 4th Symphony. The Symphony commissioned Pulitzer Prize winning composer Yehudi Wyner to revisit his youthful piece Fragments from Antiquity and create a new work for soprano and full orchestra; the resulting work receives its world premiere at this concert.  Dominique Labelle, described by The Washington Post as having “an astounding voice, one of impassioned resonance and incredible skill,” is the soprano soloist.

This should be an especially effective program, since Wyner's music shows strong affinities with Brahms'.
