Classical Music | American Symphony Orchestra Musicians with Grammy Nominated Oboist

Tuesday, May 23, 2023, 5:30 pm

Free

American Symphony Orchestra musicians on violin, percussion, double bass, clarinet and trumpet; featuring Grammy-nominated Imani Winds' oboist Toyin Spellman-Diaz.

Program
Javier Diaz (b. 1976), America Unbound: Suns and Moons of a New World (World Premiere)

About the Program
Experience the world premiere of this new piece by percussionist Javier Diaz, whose studio credits include Steven Spielberg's West Side Story and Lin Manuel Miranda's In The Heights. Commissioned by the American Symphony Orchestra, this chamber music composition incorporates stylistic elements from music across the Americas and takes listeners on a journey through history, spaces, and generations. It evokes the idea of ancestral sounds, and it is inspired by traditional musics from the Western Hemisphere: ancient songs from the Afro-Cuban tradition, Mexico, the African-American tradition, Venezuela, Haiti, and a "merging" between a J.S. Bach chorale and a Venezuelan Merengue.

America Unbound is a unique artistic experience that exalts the human condition and underlines the importance of multi-cultural influences in the shaping of the musics of the Americas. This new work is eclectic and multicultural, with a robust compositional design: the American continent unbound through a journey of musical histories and inter-generational melodies, making palpable the universality of sound, word, and song.
