TUPELO • The North Mississippi Symphony Orchestra’s televised concert Saturday is more than its the final performance of the 2021 season. It’s the start of a beautiful beginning.
TUPELO ⢠If a classical music fan were stranded in a remote part of the world with only two pieces of music to listen to, Steve Byess believes heâd know their selections.
Byessâ picks would be Ralph Vaughan Williamsâ âThe Lark Ascendingâ and Aaron Coplandâs âAppalachian Spring.â
âBoth of those pieces belong on the roster of desert island selections. If you were trapped on a desert island, what music would you like to hear,â said the North Mississippi Symphony Orchestra conductor. âBoth of those works are favorites of their listeners.â
A music fan doesnât have to be stuck on an ocean island Saturday to hear the Vaughan Williams and Copland pieces. They can be enjoyed from the comfort of home.
