The Southwest Symphony Orchestra Journeys Southwest! performs on April 7 at Trinity Christian College’s Ozinga Chapel Auditorium.
Gordon R. Wallin of Tinley Park worked with engineer John Towner on recording “Desert Moods” in 2022 at Elmhurst University. The latest piece in the “Celebrate America!” series world premieres April 7 at The Southwest Symphony Orchestra Journeys Southwest! in Palos Heights.
“It’s going to be real interesting visually to see dancing and hearing the music instead of just hearing the music and nothing else. It really enhances, it makes it exciting and it’s entertaining,” said Wallin about Glenview Squares dancers and caller Candice Hansen performing with the orchestra. “Desert Moods” is the eighth piece in Wallin’s “Celebrate America!” series, which included help from Michael “Mike” Davis, a retired music conductor for The Walt Disney Co.
“It’s such a gorgeous area. There’s so much soul and inspiration that one gets by just being there. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity with this orchestra.”
