SDSU School of Music and Dance Presents “Nothing Gold Can Stay”
The SDSU School of Music and Dance ensembles, including the Wind Symphony, Symphony Orchestra, and Choirs, will perform live in concert at the Balboa Theatre, located at 868 4th Avenue in Downtown San Diego at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021. Tickets are available for purchase through TicketMaster.
The concert title, “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” comes from the poem by Robert Frost that captures the beauty and bittersweet nature of our temporality, and the fact that all beautiful and wonderful things in our experience eventually come to an end.
The concert musical selections will include “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Steven Bryant, “Places We Can No Longer Go” by John Mackey, “Blue Cathedral” by Jennifer Higdon, and “Firebird Suite” by Igor Stravinsky.
SDSU Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Nicole Shue says she has the privilege of having musical conversations with every instrument on stage. “We’re excited and ready for a lovely audience in the incredible Balboa Theatre, because it’s the circumstance of the moment: the people and the venue that we play for that really makes our music. I interpret ‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’ as a tribute to time that has left us, we make golden memories every day throughout our lives, but we can never get back the day, the place, or the people that have passed by,” she says.
