‘Smithsonian’ Forms Partnership for Concerts in Manhattan

Published on April 16, 2007 | Email this article

Smithsonian Magazine is partnering with the Metropolis Ensemble to present two concerts at the Angel Orensanz Foundation Center for the Arts in New York City.

“Smithsonian Magazine readers are avid cultural catalysts, and an overwhelming number of them fulfill their passion for the arts by regularly attending live music performances,” said Smithsonian Publishing Group publisher Kerry Bianchi.

At the first Metropolis Ensemble concert on May 24, conductor Andrew Cyr will lead an international ensemble in a blue-grass inflected East-meets-West Mandolin Concerto by composer Avner Dorman, complimented by in-vogue Argentinean composer Osvaldo Golijov and the Chamber Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovich.

In October, composer Dave Longstreth, leader of the indie rock band the Dirty Projectors, will collaborate with the Metropolis Ensemble in a classical twist on contemporary rock.
