Wild Beautiful Orchestra: Into the Spotlight: Composers of Color

Join us for a deep dive into the music of three exceptional composers! Silvestre Revueltas was arguably Mexico’s greatest composer, known for his musical humor and extraordinarily vivid sound-painting (bringing the sounds of the jungle to the concert stage!) Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji was a reclusive genius of Parsi/English heritage who developed a unique blend of Impressionist and exotic influences through the virtuosic language of Late Romanticism. Tania Léon is a composer from Cuba who recently received the Kennedy Center Honors; always writing music which bristles with energy, she collaborates with dance troupes and conducts orchestras across the globe from Harlem to Bangkok."
