For the culmination of the NC State/Raleigh Civic Orchestra’s 10-year Premiere Project, the Raleigh Civic Symphony presents the world premiere of GRAMMY-winning composer Jeff Scott’s Athena: Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra. Renowned trumpet virtuoso Mary Elizabeth Bowden (Seraph Brass) will perform the work, a tribute to Athena, the Greek goddess of war and wisdom, and of weaving. The powerful, virtuosic work highlights the figure of Athena as a wise negotiator, imagining her bringing together warring factions in both ancient times and the modern Middle East.
