In its final performance of the season, UMSO features the music of 20th-century Eastern European composers. In Béla Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, the ensemble divides antiphonally on stage and features an excerpt from the composer’s “Night Music,” which can be heard in the movie Being John Malkovich. The winning composition of the biennial WALSUM Competition for Composition at the UMD School of Music will also be premiered. UMSO gives the world premiere of a film by Doug Fitch to accompany Kodály’s Háry János Suite.
With infectious Afro-pop grooves, lock-step dance moves, and vocal harmonies reminiscent of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, it is no wonder Mokoomba has been hailed as “quite simply the most impressive band Zimbabwe has produced in recent memory” by Afropop Worldwide’s Banning Eyre. The band’s unique mix of traditional Tonga, Luvale, & Nyanja rhythms combined with other pan-African music cultures and generous dashes of Rap, Ska, Soukous and Afro-Cuban music has gained worldwide attention.
