The latest Symphony project has been a concert version of an opera called "Nixon in China", which is about....you guessed it....President Richard Nixon's historical visit to China in 1972! It's written by the American composer John Adams, and they call his work "post- minimalist" music, meaning that there is a LOT of repetition, and steady rhythmic pulses. It's pretty "out there". But it's actually really fun (AND HARD) to sing! I had a great time performing it with all my TPSC friends....
