Natalie Dietterich: Cygnus / Chainlink Fences

Lincoln’s Symphony Orchestra (LSO) will conclude its landmark 100th season with a special concert at the historic First-Plymouth Congregational Church. Under the direction of conductor Edward Polochick, the evening highlights both the rich history of the orchestra and the future of contemporary classical music.

A central feature of the program is the introduction of LSO’s 2026–2029 Composer-in-Residence, Natalie Dietterich. The orchestra will present the world premiere of two of her works, Cygnus and Chainlink Fences. These premiering pieces will feature choral accompaniment by the Abendmusik Schola Cantorum, offering audiences a first look at the distinctive voice Dietterich brings to the orchestra’s multi-year residency.

The concert opens with Beethoven’s Consecration of the House Overture. Following intermission, the focus shifts to the church’s renowned Lied Organ. Guest organist Tom Trenney will join the orchestra to perform Camille Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3, widely known as the Organ Symphony.
