The Orchestra Now Performs Works by Iconic American Composers Walker and Tower

In this concert recorded last September, TON performs the Pulitzer Prize-winning Lilacs for Voice and Orchestra by George Walker and Joan Tower's Flute Concerto, featuring two recent graduates of Bard College as soloists - Samantha Martin, soprano ('22), and Andrea Abel, flute ('23). The program also includes Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5. Bard College President Leon Botstein conducts the orchestra, which is comprised of young musicians from across the globe's great conservatories and music schools.
