Composer Evan Ziporyn, his Hard Drive will get its world premiere
Boston Modern Orchestra Project plays Sanders Theatre this Saturday evening and the concert, with so many living artists and composers involved, is beginning to take on the feel for me of one of those great '50s epic films, like The Ten Commandments or Lawrence of Arabia. I mean this in the best sense, of course.
The program includes a world premiere, commissioned by the Celebrity Series (Evan Ziporyn's Hard Drive), a North American premiere (Steven Mackey's Dreamhouse), Concerto for DJ and Orchestra by composer Anthony DeRitis, performances by Paul D. Miller a.k.a. DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, Actor/vocalist Rinde Eckert, Synergy Vocals and the Catch Electric Guitar Quartet, all under the baton of conductor Gil Rose. There is a lot to know about a performance like this and so I have arranged this little link farm to help you, gentle reader, to get your pretty little head around our extravaganza.
