Curious Flights Presents "The Airborne Symphony"
The Curious Flights 2015-2016 season concludes with the West Coast Premiere of Marc Blitzstein's The Airborne Symphony led by Marin Symphony and Sun Valley Symphony Music Director Alasdair Neale. A monumental work for large orchestra, men's chorus, solo voices and narrator, The Airborne Symphony was premiered in 1946 by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic at the culmination of World War II and tells the dramatic historical story of human flight. The Curious Flights Symphony Orchestra will be joined by soloists Brian Thorsett (tenor) and Efrain Solís (baritone) and the Curious Flights Festival Chorus who will also feature in Barber's A Stopwatch and an Ordnance Map. Focusing on the untold contributions of American composers to both the war effort and the general promotion of American music during this era, the program will include Copland's Sextet for clarinet, piano and string quartet and an arrangement of music from Korngold's film score to the Constant Nymph featuring tenor Brian Thorsett as soloist.
