Spotlight on: American Composers Orchestra
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Composers Derek Bermel and Steven Mackey both have premieres coming up with the American Composers Orchestra. Tonight they'll join David in the studio to talk about their music and this groundbreaking ensemble, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary season.
Also tonight, a tribute to the colorful English composer Sir Malcom Arnold, who passed away last month (and would have been 85 today). Bryden Thomson leads the Philharmonia Orchestra in the first set of Arnold's "English Dances." Later on, we'll spend some time with the eclectic music of John Zorn, who is featured in the Miller Theatre's "Composer Portraits" series next Thursday night.
