World Premiere
Legend of Draco
October 25, 2014 RSO Masterworks Series
Regina Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Boguslaw Dawidow
Concert review BY CHRISTOPHER TESSMER THE LEADER-POST OCTOBER 27, 2014
RSO performance was macabre, sublime, fantastique
Beginning with the world premiere of Regina-born composer Laura Pettigrew's Legend of Draco, the celebrated local
orchestra was outstanding. Pettigrew's three-movement symphony, which she introduced and noted, was based on a Celtic
legend. Legend of Draco was sublime with a style reminiscent of the acclaimed scores of the television show Game of Thrones,
in the sense that it evoked images of an ancient world, battle and a mythical creature.
Patrons were drawn in by the composition that alternated between romantic and epic moments and brilliantly utilized many
percussive elements. Often used minimally as part of orchestrations, Pettigrew's Legend of Draco made them a focal point in the
third movement and led it to a grandiose conclusion. Simply put - it was awesome.
