Dan Locklair's Symphony No. 1, completed in January 2002, was inspired by The Seasons, a collection of poems by eighteenth century British poet James Thomson. The work was the result of an orchestral consortium commission led by the Louisville Orchestra and was funded in part by the Copying Assistance Program of the American Music Center. It was given its World Premiere in October 2002 by Maestro Uriel Siegel and the Louisville Orchestra and was also performed by the North Carolina Symphony led by Maestro Jeffrey Pollock in March 2004.
