ANGÉLICA NEGRÓN For everything you keep losing (World Premiere)
GERSHWIN Rhapsody in Blue
GOULD Latin-American Symphonette

Headlining this all-American program is Rhapsody in Blue, which Gershwin described as a sort of “musical kaleidoscope of America.” Inon Barnatan “fine music-making wedded to astounding technique” (The Washington Post) stars in this beloved American classic, an effervescent mix of jazz and classical music. The composer himself was at the keyboard at the premiere, and the audience went wild with enthusiasm, propelling this concerto to iconic status. Angélica Negrón’s gripping work for orchestra, chorus and four soloists is an elegy for lost sounds and incorporates birdsong, whale calls, sounds of forests and oceans.

For everything you keep losing Program Notes

Former Composer-in-Residence Angélica Negrón will write an expansive work for orchestra, chorus and four vocalists in honor of the orchestra’s 125th anniversary.
