Irish Medley
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
On this celebratory St. Patrick's Day, we open our evening with a diverse medley of Irish inspired works. We'll hear Arnold Black's "Laments and Dances" with the Turtle String Quaret, Michael Newman and Laura Oltman on guitar, as well as John Gardner's
"Irish Suite" with the Royal Ballet Sinfonia under Gavin Sutherland.
For the remainder of our evening, we'll turn our attention to a composer and a quartet, both of which are being featured in concerts in the New York City area this month. First, the monumental "Firebird" Ballet by Stravinsky will be heard in its entirety with Pierre Boulez leading the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Our evening concludes with a sampling from the diverse repertoire of the Kronos Quartet including Terry Riley's "G Song" and Franghiz Ali-Zadeh's "Oasis."
» Wall to Wall Stravinsky tomorrow at Symphony Space.
» Kronos Quartet at Carnegie Hall, March 24-26.
