With what Dirk Meyer, DSSO Music Director, referred to as an “eclectic” program, the evening was unified with pieces that were sprightly and colorful, each with connections to dance.
“Ash,” by contemporary American composer Michael Torke, was written in 1988, and is part of a suite called Color Music. Each of the five pieces is a different color, with “Ash” adding to the musical palette of orange, blue, green, and purple.
The piece is an example of synesthesia, defined as the blending of the senses in which “the stimulation of one sense simultaneously produces sensation in a different sense.”

If you want to understand why we re not embarked on a new Cold War with Beijing, I suggest you watch a PBS documentary this week called Beethoven in Beijing about the Philadelphia Orchestra s unique relationship with China.
I suggest this not because of a vain hope that music can offset political strife. We are indeed headed into rocky, and risky, disputes with Beijing over Taiwan, the South China Sea, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and global leadership in cutting-edge technologies.
