It takes two pianos, four people and forty fingers to perform “Symphony in C Major, Paths to Redemption.” It’s a work composed by a man who can’t read or write music, but finished it through a collaboration with Wareham’s Kirk Whipple.

On June 24, Whipple and others performed the symphony’s world premiere in Monaco, the home of its composer David Randall. The symphony will receive its American premiere on July 7 at the kick off of the Cranberry Coast Concerts summer series.

The first show will be held at 505 North Main St. in Attleboro. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. The piece will be performed in Wareham at Eastern Bank on July 8. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Whipple and his wife Marilyn Morales together have run the Cranberry Coast Concert series on the South Coast for the past 11 years.

Whipple said the symphony will be further adapted into a work to be performed by the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra.

That performance will take place in June 2018 in time for Randall’s 70th birthday.

Whipple and Randall met through a mutual acquaintance and the two had several virtual meetings to start the collaboration process.

“He has been a lifelong listener and studied music for decades. He communicated his ideas for the symphony and I transcribed them,” said Whipple. “He certainly has listened to more music than I or any of my colleagues have.”

The piece will be performed locally by the United Nations Piano Quartet, comprised of Whipple, Morales (who is originally from Cuba), Frederic Chauvel of France and Mark Sole-Leris of England.

Whipple described the five-movement symphony as an “unashamedly neo-romantic piece in the style of the great, late romantics like Mahler, Bruckner and Wagner.”

Tickets cost $25 for adults and $20 for seniors and students. Children ages 5 to 17 are admitted free with adult paid admission. Tickets are available at the door 30 minutes before each performance.

Concerts are held Thursdays in Attleboro and Fridays in Wareham until the end of August. For a complete list of shows, visit www.cranberrycoastconcerts.com.
