The Chelsea Symphony, in collaboration with composer Shuying Li, presents Li's "World Map" concertos, featuring members of the Four Corners Ensemble in all new orchestrations of the concertos for chamber orchestra. Originally written for and recorded by the Four Corners Ensemble, each concerto journeys to a different country or region around the world, highlighting the diverse backgrounds of each featured musician. The evening opens with a new work by Aaron Dai and closes with John Luther Adams's Become River, bringing the theme of world exploration together through the bodies of water that connect us all.
