“In order to grow the audience, we need to progress.” “My attire and aesthetic are a bit different in a world characterized by traditionalism,” he explains. He is a breath of fresh air in the historically conservative world of classical music. Described by the Toronto Star as “one of those special talents that comes along once in a lifetime,” Pouliot has performed with symphonies across the globe and is known for being simultaneously refined and dramatic with a passion that enraptures his audience in every performance.
Violinist Blake Pouliot is the evening’s guest soloist. “The image of this composition, sounds and colors came to my mind instantly when I visited the French perfumery Annick Goutal and was handed a beautiful bottle of the perfume with a lovely scent of roses.” “ Rose Absolute is the most beautiful and pure rose of roses,” says Tanaka. Inspired by the scent of a French perfume, Tanaka describes the work as a ‘floral bouquet for a lover’. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians calls Tanaka’s music “delicate and emotive, beautifully crafted, showing a refined ear for both detail and large organic shapes…” Her love of nature and concern for the environment has influenced many of her works. Opening the concert is Rose Absolute, a contemporary piece by Japanese composer Karen Tanaka. The concert will take place on Saturday, Octoat 7:30 p.m.
Symphony Tacoma will kick off its 2022-2023 season with a program of works that share a theme of ‘lush romance’.
