ORPHEUS & ANTHONY MCGILL

Dvořák, Copland & Perkinson

The 92nd Street Y | New York, NY

The luxurious strings of Orpheus expand Dvorak’s iconic AmericanQuartet into a Chamber Symphony, magnifying the vibrant sounds rooted in spirituals and Native drumming. The authentic American language that Dvorak envisioned really flowered when jazz seeped into the concert hall, as in this Clarinet Concerto that Aaron Copland wrote for the “King of Swing” himself, Benny Goodman, performed here by Anthony McGill in his long-awaited Orpheus debut. Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson’s miniature symphony samples everything from Bach to pop as it paints an intergenerational portrait of an American family.
