Ride the Cyclone: A Comic Musical
Book, Music & Lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell
Additional Material by Alan Schmuckler
Directed by Ericka Mac
The lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life...
Concert Program
- Silvestre Revueltas: Sensemayá
- Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate: Spirit Chief Names the Animal People
- Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5
Join the WSO for its first performance of the 2023-24 season, featuring two contrasting works from 1937: the visceral Sensemayá by Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas, and Dmitri Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, a stirring, defiant artifact of the Stalinist purges of the 1930s. In between, we present Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s Spirit Chief Names the Animal People for orchestra and narrator. The work tells the traditional Okanogan story of Coyote’s ill-fated attempt to beat out Bear, Salmon, and Eagle for the best name.
