SLSO Associate Principal Timpanist and Section Percussionist Kevin Ritenauer joins Assistant Conductor Sam Hollister to explore a program inspired by the wonder of space and the power of cinematic sound. Ritenauer reflects on how composers like John Williams and Kevin Puts create a sense of the unknown through music, what gives a piece its cinematic feel, and how genre-blending artists like Time for Three bring a unique energy to the stage. He also shares a percussionist’s perspective on some of the most colorful moments in this out-of-this-world program.
