Program to be announced from the stage

PROFILES STEWART COPELAND Stewart Copeland has spent more than three decades at the forefront of contemporary music as a rockstar and acclaimed film composer, as well as in the disparate worlds of opera, ballet, and world and chamber music. Copeland is the founder of The Police, a band that became a defining force in rock music from the ​‘80s through to the present day. His career includes the sale of more than 60 million records worldwide, and numerous awards, including seven Grammy awards.

Copeland moved beyond the rock arena in the mid-1980s when he returned to his classical roots with creative pursuits in concert and film music. His concert works include BEN-HUR, A Tale of the Christ, which features Copeland as soloist in a live orchestral score for the 1925 silent film; Tyrant’s Crush: Concerto for Trapset and Orchestra, commissioned by Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; Poltroons in Paradise, commissioned by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra; and Gamelan D’Drum, commissioned by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for the world percussion group D’Drum.

In 2017, the Chicago Opera Theatre premiered Copeland’s surreal chamber opera The Invention of Morel. Copeland has also written two operas based on stories by Edgar Allen Poe: The Cask of Amontillado and The Tell-Tale Heart.

Copeland continues to pursue his love for opera and 2020 saw the premiere of Electric Saint, commissioned by Weimar DNT as well as his Oratorio, Satan’s Fall, based on John Milton’s Paradise Lost. He is also working on a Raga/​Indian project with the Soweto Gospel Choir and Anoushka Shankar in this same spirit.

In 2022, his rock opera The Witches Seed premiered in Italy at the Tones on the Stones Festival in a stunning quarry, in collaboration with Creative Partner Chrissie Hynde and with a libretto by regular collaborator Jonathan Moore.

Recipient of the Hollywood Film Festival’s first Outstanding Music in Film Visionary Award, two-time Grammy Award winner for his Divine Tides album, and inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Copeland has been responsible for some of the film world’s most innovative

and groundbreaking scores. His numerous film scores include Oliver Stone’s Wall Street, the seminal score for the Golden Globenominated soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola’s Rumble Fish, the score for Bruno Barreto’s Oscar-nominated Four Days in September, and his Emmy nomination for the Showtime pilot and series Dead Like Me. His work in television includes contributions to The Equalizer, Babylon V, and Desperate Housewives, and he also scored the blockbuster hit video game Spyro.

ENRICO LOPEZ-YAÑEZ Enrico Lopez-Yañez is the newly appointed Principal Conductor of Dallas Symphony Presents and Principal Pops Conductor of the Pacific Symphony. In addition, Lopez-Yañez serves as the Principal Pops Conductor of the Nashville Symphony. He is quickly establishing himself as one of the nation’s leading conductors of popular music and is becoming known for his unique style of audience engagement. An active composer/arranger, Lopez-Yañez has been commissioned to write pieces for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Houston Symphony, San Diego Symphony, and Omaha Symphony, and has had his works performed by orchestras including the Baltimore Symphony, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, The Florida Orchestra, Ft. Worth Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, National Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Seattle Symphony, and Utah Symphony, among others. Lopez-Yañez has conducted concerts with a broad spectrum of artists including Nas, Gladys Knight, Ledisi, Itzhak Perlman, Kenny Loggins, Toby Keith, Mickey Guyton, Kelsea Ballerini, Leslie Odom Jr., Renee Elise Goldsberry, Hanson, The Beach Boys, Kenny G, and more. Lopez-Yañez also conducts the annual Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4 fireworks show. As Artistic Director and Co-Founder of Symphonica Productions, LLC, Lopez-Yañez curates and leads programs designed to cultivate new audiences. As a producer, composer, and arranger, Lopez-Yañez’s work can be heard on numerous albums including the UNESCO benefit album Action Moves People United and children’s music albums The Spaceship that Fell in My Backyard and Kokowanda Bay.
