Dr. Jacob Harrison, Guest Conductor and Music Director Finalist
Daveda Karanas, Mezzo soprano
Continue the journey with us as the Austin Civic Orchestra welcomes Music Director finalist Dr. Jacob Harrison for the third destination in our 2026–27 season, Journeys of Wonder and Beauty.
Wonders and Beauty in Motion charts a path through sound and story. The evening opens with Gabriela Ortiz’s Kauyumari, a vibrant musical journey inspired by the Blue Deer of Huichol tradition. Mezzo‑soprano Daveda Karanas then joins the orchestra for Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer, guiding listeners through the emotional travels of a wandering soul. The concert reaches its final destination with Respighi’s Pines of Rome, a sweeping, cinematic voyage filled with radiant color and triumphant momentum.
Join us as our Music Director finalist series continues and experience an evening of movement, imagination, and orchestral wonder.
Program
- Kauyumari by Gabriela Ortiz
- Songs of a Wayfarer by Gustav Mahler, Daveda Karanas, Mezzo soprano
