Eternal Light is a multi-arts community youth project that originated during the Covid-19 pandemic. Inspired by Lux Aeterna, an uplifting movement in Mozart’s Requiem, the Symphony put out a call for local students to submit original music, lyrics, drawings and poetry that reflected their interpretation of “eternal light” or whatever inspired them during difficult times. The Symphony received 14 music compositions and nearly 40 artworks from area youth ages 8 to 18. Music Director Sarah Ioannides worked with co-producer Kim Scharnberg to orchestrate the works and Fernanda Films to weave the artworks into an audio and visual “music gallery” that will be synchronized to the music in the performance. Unlike 2021, six of this year’s young artists will perform live with the Symphony’s professional musicians along with participants of University Place Presbyterian Church’s Alleluia Singers (Diana Greene, director).
