The Knoxville Symphony Chamber Orchestra presents its May 2026 program on Sunday, May 3rd at 2:30pm. As usual, the performance will be given in the historic Bijou Theatre in downtown Knoxville. The concert features W.C. Handy's St. Louis Blues March, the premiere of Nicky Sohn's A Tale of the Bunny and the Tiger (which was part of the KSO's "9 for 90 commission project"), Three Places in New England by Charles Ives, and the chamber version of Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring.
As Maestro Aram Demirjian talks about in this interview, the program reflects themes of home and storytelling. In this conversation, learn more about the composer, Nicky Sohn, and the music, including what sets this smaller version of Appalachian Spring apart from the larger orchestral version.
