Step inside the legendary Hôtel Ritz Paris and hear the drama, glamour, courage, and resistance of World War II at the Capital Philharmonic’s Opening Night event! L’Hôtel Ritz de Paris is a new work by CPNJ’s composer-in-residence, Vince di Mura, that blends orchestral composition with a live Cuban music ensemble, solo violin, cabaret and Latin influences through symphonic storytelling. The evening also opens with Harmony Villa, a new work that celebrates our community of artists. Written for orchestra, vocalist, pipa, and three choruses singing in English and Chinese, offering friendship through the love of music making.
