SLSO and Kapilow on PBS this Sunday afternoon
Post-Dispatch Classical Music
Kapilow
In 2005, Rob Kapilow’s “Summer Sun Winter Moon” had its premiere at Powell Symphony Hall with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
Originally commissioned to celebrate the Lewis & Clark expedition, Kapilow instead worked with an American Indian librettist, Darrell Robes Kipp, to bring out a different point of view. The final product wasn’t as musically memorable as one might have hoped, but it was a worthy concept.
PBS will show a documentary on the project; it will air in St. Louis on Channel 9-KETC, this Sunday, November 1, at 1 pm.
