“Fisher: Symphonina No. 2” is featured on the new album Ascension: Symphonina Rising, released by the Symphonina Foundation, an organization dedicated to introducing younger audiences to the vibrant world of symphonic music. The foundation’s work focuses on making
orchestral compositions more accessible through innovation, composer competitions, giving musicians opportunities via its International Symphonina Orchestra, and community outreach.
The “Symphonina” format is the brain child of Dr. David Fogel (CEO of the Symphonina Foundation,) which is a fresh take on classical structure tailored for modern listeners. The album symbolizes the rise and recognition of the ‘Symphonina’ as a new genre in the diverse world of classical music. Where a traditional symphony might be 45 minutes long, a Symphonina is typically 10–12 minutes, still with 3 to 4 movements, each around the length of a typical streaming pop tune.
