As a follow up to my earlier comment, I will take the leap to compliment
the Chicago Sinfonietta for an innovative effort to expand the
audience for classical music and hopefully for composers of African
descent. I take the leap because the Chicago Sinfonietta did not single
out an African American composer's music for the experimental orchestral
dance mix but included an African American composers with better
recognized classical giants.
Orchestral Dance Mix (arr. Sam Shoup) featuring:
— TCHAIKOVSKY: Selections from Swan Lake Suite
— PRICE: Symphony No. 1, Mov. 3 and 4
KHACHATURIAN: Sabre Dance from Gayane
RACHMANINOFF: Symphonic Dances
FootworKINGz
and members of Kuumba Lynx will be exposed along with the audience to
music by great composers of mixed ancestry and home countries. The
Chicago Sinfonetta is not bringing down Margaret Bond but bring youth
and others up to heigher awareness and new thoughts for study and
research. Bravo
