Description

Radiant Beauty, Featuring Miki Sawada, Piano Pianist Miki Sawada makes her NMSO debut in the mighty Piano Concerto No. 1 of Tchaikovsky, which was a part of the inaugural season of the Tupelo Symphony Orchestra in November 1971. The orchestra performs the idyllic and powerful Symphony No. 2 of Brahms. This program is also a collaboration with the Japan-America Society of Mississippi and the North Mississippi Cherry Blossom Festival. The Tupelo Symphony was founded in 1971 by attorney Wade Lagrone who believed it was possible for a city as small as Tupelo to support an all-professional symphony orchestra. The Tupelo Symphony has drawn musicians from Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and beyond and become an important regional orchestra in Mississippi. As a reflection of its increasing regional presence, in May 2013, the Tupelo Symphony Orchestra was renamed the North Mississippi Symphony Orchestra.
