SOLI Chamber Ensemble - ROOTED

SOLI presents works that fuse together nature, arts, and ideas, inspired by the San Antonio Botanical Garden’s current exhibit, Rooted (large-scale sculpture by Steve Tobin). Angélica Negrón mirrors electricity’s element of surprise in nature through her use of electronics; Christopher Vu reflects on the degree of disorder and randomness in the universe; and Kati Agócs captures the present-day idea of “alone together.” The concert’s centerpiece is I Remember You by emerging African-American composer Benjamin Horne, winner of the first Cross-Country Chamber Consortium award, of which SOLI is a founding member.
