As the nation’s premier ensemble dedicated to performing, commissioning, and recording modern orchestral repertoire, BMOP continues bridging the conservative and progressive traditions of American classical music from the past century.
Anthony De Ritis’s Jiggedy, Jingle, Jaunty, Jaunty, a world premiere for orchestra and electronics, pays homage to two 20th-century giants, James Joyce and Luciano Berio ,through a dialogue that stretches across time. BMOP welcomes soprano Julia Bullock for Samuel Barber’s iconic Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a setting of James Agee’s 1938 prose text whose childlike recollection of a summer evening remains one of Barber’s most beloved creations. In addition, Ms. Bullock also performs two movements from Matt Aucoin’s The No One’s Rose, settings of poems by Paul Celan that explore memory, language, and loss. The evening concludes with Charles Wuorinen’s Delight of the Muses, a homageto Mozart based on material from Don Giovanni. Outlandish, sentimental, and a rousing good time, this ballet shows this iconic American composer at his irreverent best.
National Sawdust and Sarah Williams present a live performance of Daniela Mack’s debut solo album SUR with bandoneonist JP Jofre and his quintet. SUR features and is heavily inspired by the music of Astor Piazzolla. Argentine-American mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack first heard Piazzolla from the back seat of her father’s car, and the intensity, melancholy, and freedom of that sound never left her. Now an artist with an international opera career, she returns to the music to reconnect with her identity and to ask what Piazzolla can mean today in the voice of a contemporary classical singer.
