U.S. Debut of Six Original Compositions by Student Composers Led by a Russian Orchestra
The Russian String Orchestra, renowned for its exceptional musicianship and dedication to Russian classical music, is set to take the stage at Schoenberg Hall on November 5th at 7:00 p.m. This performance will mark the U.S. premiere of six original compositions from the Herb Alpert School of Music, composed by its talented students.
The Russian String Orchestra, composed of some of Russia's finest young string players, is a testament to the country's rich classical music heritage. The ensemble, under the leadership of Maestro Misha Rachlevsky, performs a wide range of repertoire from early Baroque literature to the music of new composers, including works by Mikhail Glinka, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and Sergey Prokofiev.
Anthony Constantino, a Ph.D. composition student at the Herb Alpert School of Music, is one of the six students whose compositions will be premiered. He expresses his gratitude for the extreme attention to detail and superb musicianship that Maestro Rachlevsky and the RSO have brought to his work.
The concert program will include "Toccata and Intermezzo" by Mason Lewis, "The Deepest Hour" by Kenneth Glendon, "Lost in Lut" by Shahab Paranj, "Sinfonia" by Anthony Constantino, "My Idols are Dead" by Marcus Norris, and "Listen To Me" by Dante Luna. Notably, Dante Luna is the sole undergraduate composition student on the program.
Misha Rachlevsky, founder and music director of the Russian String Orchestra, is known for giving opportunities to young, talented musicians and composers. He has a condition for new music to enter the RSO repertoire: it must speak to him and allow him to communicate something to the audience.
Admission to the performance is free, but RSVP is required. The performance will also be live streamed for those unable to attend in person. The Russian String Orchestra regularly tours North and South America, Europe, and Asia, and has received acclaim for their recordings, including a critic's choice in the New York Times.
This performance offers a unique opportunity to experience the fusion of traditional Russian classical music with contemporary compositions, all performed by one of the world's premier string ensembles. Don't miss out on this special event!
