A Call for Help
Formed by native Iraqi musicians in the mid 1940’s, the Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra has been the leading musical force in Iraq for the last half century. Unfortunately, the orchestra has been under a financial strain for the last several years. Today on Soundcheck, we’ll be joined by Wafaa' Al-Natheema, an Iraqi National who is helping the under-funded orchestra to find things like instruments, strings, reeds and sheet music. We will also continue our coverage of the opening of Zankel Hall with a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning music writer Justin Davidson. He will talk about composer John Adams' influence on the programming of the new venue and what its opening means to the musical landscape of New York City.
