The UCF Symphony Orchestra performs a concert inspired by the landscape and culture of our planet, as well as by our celestial surroundings. Jean Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2, composed between 1901 and 1902, is deeply intertwined with the Finnish landscape and culture; the symphony’s pastoral themes evoke the serene and rugged Finnish countryside, with its vast forests and tranquil lakes. Grammy Award-winning composer Jessie Montgomery composed her reflective Hymn for Everyone in 2021, and described the piece as a “catharsis,” inspired by a melody that came to her unexpectedly during a hike. Roger Zare’s fascination with astronomy inspired him to compose NEOWISE about the comet which became visible to the naked eye in July 2020.
