The Earth 2.0 commission and concert are generously supported by The Eugene McDermott Foundation

There are tectonic forces at play here: In December, the FWSO will give the world premiere performance of American composer Jake Heggie and Librettist Anita Amirrezvani’s, Earth 2.0 — a work exploring ecology and the environment in music — featuring star countertenor Key’mon Murrah with guest dancers from a New York-based dance troupe. The orchestra’s Music Director Robert Spano will conduct the premiere before turning to one of the most universal works in the classical canon, Beethoven’s “Eroica” symphony.
