Performance: In-person and Livestream

The UMD Symphony Orchestra joins forces with the UMD Concert Choir to present Igor Stravinsky’s intensely passionate Symphony of Psalms. This choral-symphony in three movements takes its name from the final psalm from the Book of Psalms, 150.

This theme of faith will carry through the entire concert. Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5, known as “Reformation” refers to the Protestant Reformation in 16-century Germany, while the title of Reena Esmail’s Vishwas translates from Hindi to mean “fervent belief” or “faith.”

Program:
Reena Esmail: "Testament" from Vishwas for Orchestra 
Felix Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 5, “Reformation”
Igor Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms
