Symphony Unbound feat. Dori Freeman & The Winston-Salem Symphony String Quintet
this presentation is a collaboration between The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation & The Winston-Salem Symphony
Dori Freeman is about as “bonafide” as an Appalachian artist can be: she was raised among a family of musicians in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Her most recent record release, Ten Thousand Roses, the fourth studio album from the Galax, VA based singer-songwriter, showcases an artist who has cemented an inimitable signature sound while simultaneously establishing her as capable of a wide variety of styles. Her soaring alto and singular style are on fine display throughout this collection of nine originals and one cover. She wrote the songs during the pandemic, when, like millions of others, she stayed home and spent more time outside. “I really observed and appreciated nature during that time,” she says. Natural elements such as storm-clouds, wildflowers, and spiders show up as motifs throughout the record, which examines everything from being deeply in love with someone to realizing that you don’t need another person to complete you.
