About the event
Some dreams are wild. Some are luminous. Some sound like home.
DREAM closes Olympia Symphony’s 2026/27 season, Kaleidoscope, with a celebration of the Americas: not as one place, one story, or one sound, but as a vast meeting of landscapes, cultures, memories, and hope.
The season began with LIFT, a concert that asked what American music sounds like when many voices rise together. DREAM brings that question full circle, widening the lens from America as a nation to America as a continent.
The concert opens with Jimmy López’s América Salvaje, a symphonic poem inspired by Blasón by Peruvian poet José Santos Chocano. The poem celebrates Peru through its Indigenous and Hispanic inheritances, then opens outward into a larger vision of land, ancestry, pride, and identity. López transforms that spirit into orchestral sound: bold, cinematic, and alive with the feeling of a land singing itself into being.
