Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
WNYC presents this live broadcast of the world-renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra from Carnegie Hall, hosted by Evening Music's Terrance McKnight and Soundcheck's John Schaefer. Featured are Aaron Copland's "Latin American Sketches," Ernest Chausson's "Poème de l'Amour et de la Mer" (Poem of Love and the Sea) with Dame Felicity Lott, and George Bizet's Symphony in C Major.
Also on the program is a new work by Cuban-born composer Tania León, "Ácana." Based on a 1944 poem by Cuban poet laureate Nicolas Guillen, the work takes its name from a tree indigenous to the American meridian. According to the composer, "Ácana" is meant to be "a sonic palette of sounds that invisibly connect the cultures and soul of the peoples in the American continent."
