In honor of Valentine’s Day weekend, the Albany Symphony Orchestra on Saturday presents and premieres
“Distances,” the specifically commissioned work of Tyson Davis, a 20-year-old composer from the Juilliard School of Music. The evening will also include performances of Johannes Brahms’ Serenade No.1 in D Major, and William Walton’s Façade
, narrated by Lucy Fitz Gibbon.
“It s this idea of the fresh eyes of youth, of young artists,” said David Alan Miller, music director of the ASO. “Even though these pieces are very dissimilar from one another, which I think is part of the interesting aspects of the concert, it s this idea of young composers, trying to find their voices and sort of develop their mature voices.”
