One of the works that will contribute to our next concert is The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. It is an engrossing work for narrator and orchestra that will include still images projected on a screen above the orchestra.
The poem tells an epic story of a mariner at sea who pays a terrible price for moment of rash action. It is by English Poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. We are pleased to be joined by voice actor Pierre Renoudet who will be providing our narration. Here is a sample of the poem:
