Mason’s newest work, Silicon Hymnal, travels to the San Francisco Symphony on Wednesday, July 23 for a thrilling homecoming with one of my longest collaborators, Maestro Robert Moody—who, decades ago, commissioned my very first orchestra piece. This genre-blurring triple concerto was written for the inimitable Time for Three, whose members seamlessly shift between singing and playing in any style. The piece begins as a suite of capricious dances and gradually expands into a full-blown concerto, culminating in two massive final movements. And Mason will be joining them onstage, pumping out the heavy electronica track.
It’s been a busy summer for Silicon Hymnal, with performances at Brevard Music Center under Keith Lockhart, an upcoming date with Sun Valley Symphony and Alsadair Neale on August 4, and a performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra at Saratoga Performing Arts Center on August 21.
