Carnegie Hall: The Philadelphia Orchestra
$21-$140
- Angel Blue, soprano
Valerie Coleman — This Is Not a Small Voice (New York premiere)
Samuel Barber — Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Op. 24
Florence Price — Symphony No. 1 in E minor
Hear powerful works by four unique American composers. Metropolitan Opera star Angel Blue’s lush voice is ideally suited to the richly melodic vocal line of Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a gorgeous setting of novelist James Agee’s childhood memories of a summer evening in the American South. Blue also joins the orchestra for the New York premiere of a new work by Valerie Coleman, as well as a suite from Matthew Aucoin's latest opera, which was premiered this season. Arkansas-born Price’s vibrant symphony recalls her African heritage, weaving in spirituals, hymns, and West African dance.
