Northern Lights Adventure features works by three local, young composers—Dylan French, Israel Kim, and Yola Svoma—and invites audiences on an immersive journey into the Arctic night. Led by Alex Amsel, the program includes the luminous music of Christopher Theofanidis and The Legend of the Northern Lights, a multimedia experience by astronomer and visual artist Dr. José Francisco Salgado. Blending stunning imagery of the Aurora Borealis with a powerful symphonic score, the performance weaves together science and mythology in a breathtaking exploration of nature’s “frozen fire.”
