Talking about the Blues Symphony - Movement I-II

I’m working day and night on Blues Symphony, the piece I’m writing for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. I had a chance to sit down and talk each of the 7 movements in the piece. Here are the first two.

Music Director Robert Spano will lead the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in the World Premiere of Wynton Marsalis’s new symphonic work, Blues Symphony. The new work celebrates the blues through the prism of different moments in American history, and will be the first work by Marsalis composed exclusively for symphony orchestra. Wynton will not be playing on this piece but will be in attendance.
