Adams’ On the Transmigration of Souls

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Marin Alsop leads the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and The Washington Chorus in John Adams’s Pulitzer Prize-winning composition *On the Transmigration of Souls*. Adams described the work as opening a “memory space” rather than telling a straightforward story, and this program is designed to offer a reflective atmosphere for remembering the tragedy and those lost. The performance is part of The Washington Chorus’s 2026-27 season, which features the ensemble under the artistic direction of Dr. Eugene Rogers and includes guest appearances with major regional orchestras.
