Ultrafaux performs Balkan-inspired original music from their new CD release "Reverie." Jacob Panic and Outcalls also performing.
Principal Guest Conductor Markus Stenz gives us a rare opportunity to hear the color and brilliance of Stravinsky’s complete score for The Firebird, the commission from Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes that catapulted him to fame in pre-WWI Paris. Years later, Paris was again the setting for Ravel’s popular jazz-inflected concerto, a perfect vehicle for the musical refinement and elegance of French pianist David Fray, who makes his BSO debut.

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.
