Episode #3021
Orchestra of the 21st Century
Saturday, March 31, 2012
For this New Sounds, we'll focus on the orchestra of the 21st Century. Chances are this orchestra is a bit leaner and more versatile than a 100 member-plus symphony orchestra and most likely includes electric and/or electronic instruments. We'll hear many examples, including Alarm Will Sound, the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) and Sujian Stevens' The BQE Project, a work for a quirky symphony orchestra. And more.
