Adams' On the Transmigration of Souls

Thu, Oct 15, 2026 – Sun, Oct 18, 2026
Price not available

In recognition of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, Marin Alsop leads the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra alongside The Washington Chorus in John Adams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning *On the Transmigration of Souls*. Adams described the work as a “memory space”—a contemplative, non-narrative reflection that weaves recorded voices, orchestral textures, and choral writing into a collective meditation on loss and remembrance. The program offers a powerful sonic commemoration, inviting audiences to experience the piece as a shared act of reflection.
