Duke Symphony Orchestra: Death Be Not Proud
Wednesday, March 4,
-
Experience an evening of profound emotional depth as the Duke Symphony Orchestra presents Death Be Not Proud, a concert that reflects on resilience, mortality, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Drawing its title from John Donne's famous Holy Sonnet-an ode to defiance in the face of death-the program weaves together works of striking intensity and luminous beauty.
Under the direction of the orchestra's gifted leadership, the performance explores the ways composers confront loss, transformation, and hope through sound. From sweeping orchestral landscapes to moments of intimate stillness, the evening invites listeners to reflect on the universal struggle to find meaning amid life's most challenging questions.
In the resonant acoustics of Baldwin Auditorium, the Duke Symphony Orchestra brings these themes to life with passionate commitment and expressive clarity. This is not only a concert, but a poignant and stirring meditation-an opportunity to gather as a community and witness music's extraordinary power to console, illuminate, and inspire.
Free and open to the public. All are welcome.
