Event details: BMOP Presents BIG BANG Percussive Works
Description
The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), the
nation's leading orchestra dedicated exclusively to performing, commissioning, and recording new music, presents the season's first of four varied instrument-centric performances at Jordan Hall the evening of Friday, November 13, 2009. As part of its seasonlong dedication to emphasizing the principal and austere elements of an orchestra, this
particular all-percussion BIG BANG program highlights a threesome of masterworks expressly written for orchestra and percussion. The trifecta starts with what has been credited as the first Western work for percussion alone Ionization by Edgard Varèse; followed by the New England premiere of Lou Harrison's La Koro Sutro featuring guest artist Providence Singers; and lastly a revival of the infamous Ballet Mécanique by George Antheil.
