Macrocosm by SOLI Chamber Ensemble

Location

San Antonio Botanical Garden
555 Funston Place, San Antonio, TX

Monday, May 13, 2024 | 7 p.m.

Macrocosm is the final concert of the season and occurs on the 30th anniversary of SOLI’s first concert in 1994. The program spans past, present, and future – representative parts of SOLI’s significant contribution to the world of contemporary classical chamber music – contrasting representative works from SOLI’s commissioning output with the whole of their oeuvre. Highlights of the program include San Antonio-born Robert Xavier Rodriguez’s Musica: por un tiempo – a deftly scored three-movement piece commissioned by the ensemble in 2007 in which the rumba, polyphony, and Latin dance rhythms overlap in endless contradictions: turbulent, yet comforting; steamy, yet soothing; ornate, yet not at all fussy; and the premiere of a new work – Four Contacts – from Elliott Miles McKinley commissioned by SOLI for the total solar eclipse in April 2024. These are complemented by the moody colors of Jennifer Bellor’s A Grey Dream and the majestic ringing tones of Galina Grigorjeva’s Prayer, both representing voices of our current time and the broad expanse of contemporary soundscapes. The San Antonio Botanical Garden is honored to partner with SOLI Chamber Ensemble to produce their
2023 – 2024 season live in an outdoor natural setting. Concerts will be staged from the new Betty Kelso Center as you, the audience, engage in SOLI’s exciting and imaginative performances from the comfort and safety of the Greehey Lawn.
