For this all-American program, the MSO features its principal harpist, Melanie Young, in a performance of Ennanga by William Grant Still. This rarely heard work for harp, strings, and piano is a vivid reflection of the ennanga, an African harp-like instrument. Played on a modern harp, the piece has a calming, restorative quality that gently soothes the soul. The program continues with Edward MacDowell’s Suite No. 2, which draws on motifs from the Iroquois, Iowa, and other Native American tribes to evoke Indigenous life, and concludes with Ferde Grofé’s iconic and sweeping Grand Canyon Suite.

This performance will be captioned.
