Excerpt from the article:
The Georgia Symphony Orchestra brought its 2024–2025 season to a close Saturday with a performance of We The People, a concert held at the Bobbie Bailey Performance Center on the campus of Kennesaw State University.
The program opened with Igor Stravinsky’s arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner. The performance continued with Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring and culminated in the world premiere of Requiem Americano, an original composition written and conducted by GSO Music Director Dr. Timothy Verville.
“We wanted this finale to be more than a concert, we wanted it to be an experience that speaks honestly and openly to the heart of who we are,” Verville said. “Requiem Americano is a reflection of our shared history, aspirations and shortcomings, told through music that explores both the intimate, the grand and everything in between.”
The performance earned a standing ovation from the audience and drew praise from first-time attendees who described the concert as emotionally resonant and visually intimate.
