Overture of the Season, Op. 89

Composer: SVOBODA, Tomas
  • Commissioned by the Oregon Symphony, Overture of the Season premiered with the ensemble in 1978.
  • Given the work’s title, one might assume Svoboda was portraying a specific time of year in his overture. However, the score is much more nebulous and open to interpretation by the listener.1
