NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chamber Orchestra of New York’s Valentine’s Day concert on Friday, February 14, 2025 (7:30pm) at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Hall features clarinetist Benjamin Baron in Aaron Copland’s Concerto for Clarinet. Under the direction of Music Director Salvatore Di Vittorio, the program will begin with Edward Elgar’s sublime Sospiri (Sighs) and conclude with Richard Strauss’ elegantly romantic Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (The Bourgeois Gentleman).
This production is part of the orchestra’s 17th Season “Twentieth Century Masters” at Carnegie Hall which also showcases our latest Naxos Records album released on October 11, 2024, featuring Ottorino Respighi’s famous songs with contralto Alessandra Visentin – and once championed by Luciano Pavarotti.
Chamber Orchestra of New York is well known for its programming blending classical music with iconic film scores from Star Wars to James Bond and has become the go-to musical ensemble in New York for major international brands and their lofty productions from Dolce&Gabbana to Disney. The ensemble’s focus on promoting the city’s “most flourishing musicians” through its roster, Respighi Prize music competition, and NY Conducting Workshop, is creating distinct ripples in the classical music orchestra world. The story of how this refined young orchestra breathes new life into forgotten or neglected masterpieces, especially through a Respighi family commission under our Maestro, while fostering future generations of classical musicians and younger audiences, is a tale that fits beautifully into the fabric of New York’s current cultural renaissance.
