Dust and Ions

From: 03:00 PM to 05:30 PM, February 23, 2025 | Wichita Symphony Orchestra

Dust and Ions was written by Wichita composer, Alex Wakim. Originally premiered at Wichita Center for the Arts in 2021, the cathartic journey of creation, purity, inevitable corruption, and a purge flows through the voice of the orchestra. How do we find beauty in a corrupted world?

Wichita Symphony Principal Horn, Jeb Wallace, explores the lyrical, expressive, and virtuosic qualities of the horn with Mozart's bright and infectiously cheerful Horn Concerto No. 4. Then, the orchestra takes center stage with Schoenberg's reimagination of Brahms's Piano Quartet in G minor. Fully-orchestrated, Brahms's intimate chamber work takes on new dimensions of color and expression, offering audiences a fresh perspective on a cherished classic with Schoenberg's orchestration.
