RICHARDSON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - PORTRAITS IN MUSIC - EPISODE 703 - Grand Canyon Country with Nicholas Bardonnay
Episode 703
Tuesday, 27 October, 2026
How do you turn a live symphony performance into a journey through the natural world? Photographer and multimedia artist Nicholas Bardonnay of Westwater Arts joins Ross Sivertsen and RSO Executive Director Laurie Garvie to explore the art of symphonic photochoreography ahead of Grand Canyon Country. Nicholas shares how panoramic photography and live orchestral music come together, how landscapes become visual stories, and how he cues images in real time by following the conductor. From the Pacific Northwest to the Grand Canyon, discover the stories behind Pacifica, Vanishing Forest, and Grand Canyon Country, paired with Sibelius’s The Swan of Tuonela, Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending, and Grofé’s Grand Canyon Suite. Experience Grand Canyon Country with the Richardson Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts in Richardson, Texas.
