The Reser, Nov. 16

INNER LANDSCAPES: Depths of Expression

Maria Garcia, Piano

A program that invites you on a journey through a vibrant musical landscape, blending the bold and contemporary with the timeless and profound. This exciting program presents the Western U.S. premiere of a new composition titled Rainn by Karena Ingram, a rising star in contemporary composition. Her evocative work explores the fluidity of nature and emotion and is presented in collaboration with the League of American Orchestras’ Toulmin Commissions Program. Portland piano virtuoso Maria Garcia performs the dramatic elegance of Lūcija Garūta’s Piano Concerto in F-sharp Minor — a hidden gem of the 20th-century repertoire, brimming with intensity, lyricism, and dazzling virtuosity. The program closes with the radiance of Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 in G Major, a celebration of nature and folk-inspired melodies, bursting with joy and optimism.
