Following the likes of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) and the New York Philharmonic to play at Carnegie Hall in the 2012-2013 season will be a very mixed American Composers Orchestra, come Friday, Oct. 26 at Carnegie's Zankel Hall.
Conductor and composer Jose Serebrier will lead out this multicultural ensemble on Friday night accompanied by the American Composers Orchestra.
Israeli flute soloist Sharon Bezaly will play alongside the orchestra as well as Serbian Milica Paranosic who plays the unique Balkan instrument the gusle while Lori Colter does the vocals.
Capturing this event will be the duo of Carmen Kordas a German videographer and Beowulf Sheehan a New York based photographer.
The concert dubbed as "Dreams and Dances," follows the works of Thomson "Thoughts about Waltzing." That will briskly be followed by Thai musician Narong Prangcharoen's "The Migration of Lost Souls," a world premiere.
Milica Paranosic and her gusle will also give a world premiere performance when she plays a piece entitled "The Tiger's Wife: Prologue for Electronics, Projections and Orchestra." The piece based on the novel by Tea Obreht called "The Tiger's Wife."
American composer Charles Ives "Symphony No. 3, 'The Camp Meeting,' will be on offered just before conductor himself Jose Serebrier picks up a flute himself and plays a flute concerto with tango.
This uniquely assembled the ACO is based in New York and is the only orchestra in the world dedicated to the creation, performance, preservation and promulgation of music by American composers. The ensemble was first created in 1975 by the pair of Francis Thorne and Dennis Russell Davies.
