Symphony in Sculpture I

Symphony in Sculpture I

Join us Sunday, July 12 for the streaming premiere of Symphony in Sculpture I, a multimedia film project commissioned for the Symphony's 75th Anniversary Season in 2012. 

In 2012, the Symphony commissioned composer Steve Heitzeg to create music inspired by the John & Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park as part of its 75th Anniversary Season. Featuring symphonic portrayals of nine different sculptures, this groundbreaking multimedia project pairs high-quality recordings of the Des Moines Symphony with stunning original cinematography by Blur MediaWorks.

Read more about the piece in our program notes.

Composer Steve Heitzeg later followed up this original work with Symphony in Sculpture II (2015) and Symphony in Sculpture III (2019).

The 2012 Symphony in Sculpture multimedia film was published on DVD, but up until now, has never been available to stream. Now, we are thrilled to present the online debut of this momentous project as part of our DMSO at Home Series.

RSVP here for the online premiere, watch on YouTube, or stream on our website.
