Saint Louis Symphony plays Luctus Profugis

The Saint Louis Symphony performed Luctus Profugis on a recent program of music on the theme of “homeland.” The concert was also radio broadcast and streamed on St. Louis Public Radio’s Classic 107.3 FM. The program, conducted by Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, featured Smetana’s Má vlast and Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto with soloist Ingrid Fliter. Written in 2015, Luctus Profugis reflects on the European migrant and refugee crisis during that period. The work is scored for string orchestra and vibraphone.
