“I listened to the Borodin Polovtsian Dances, on earbuds initially, but was so impressed by the quality of the performance (and the quality of the recording) that I moved to another room to listen through my hi-fi speakers. I was pleased to see that there are several other ASO pieces available on the SoundCloud files that I can enjoy too. Makes me regret not having made it a higher priority to hear the Auburn Symphony Orchestra live as you encouraged years ago.”

At the Auburn Symphony Orchestra, we grieve with the nation at injustice and racial discrimination. Black Lives Matter. As an arts organization that envisions a community connected and nourished through the experience of live orchestral music, we commit to bettering ourselves and reflecting the community we serve.
In February 2020 we performed Lyric for Strings by George Walker. This was the first time a black composer was featured on an Auburn Symphony Orchestra program. It will not be the last. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Music, Walker dedicated Lyric for Strings to his grandmother. We hope his music may be a source of inspiration and as well as a balm for these difficult times.
Auburn Symphony Principal Violist Betty Agent introduces George Walker's Lyric for Strings which Auburn Symphony played in February 2020 and you can hear on our SoundCloud channel. Agent tells about George Walker's career and which of his compositions is her favorite.
