Manassas Symphony Orchestra Presents Sonic America with Melanie Young, Harp at Hylton Performing Arts Center

Melanie Young plays this rarely heard work by William Grant Still for harp, strings, and piano. It is a vivid reflection of the ennanga, an African harp-like instrument. Played on a modern harp, the piece has a calming, restorative quality that gently soothes the soul. The program continues with Edward MacDowell’s" Suite No. 2," which draws on motifs from the Iroquois, Iowa, and other Native American tribes to evoke Indigenous life, and concludes with Ferde Grofé’s iconic and sweeping "Grand Canyon Suite."

MSO is a Hylton Performing Arts Center "Arts Partner" and is funded by the City of Manassas, Prince William County, and the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Adult tickets are $35 and include all fees. Children and student tickets are free.

Time: 19:30 - 21:00
