Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms is a colorful, dramatic masterwork, originally intended for boychoir and orchestra. The acclaimed Northwest Boychoir and members of Seattle Symphony Chorale also join SMCO for the miraculous music of two child prodigies whose lives ended too soon: Lili Boulanger and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. SMCO will also premiere music of Gabriel Prokofiev, one of the world's leading composers and the British-born grandson of Sergei Prokofiev.
