"The orchestra has become one of the most artistically valuable in the
country for its support of music either new or so woefully neglected that it might as well be," writes David Allen. Allen recommends five BMOP/sound CDs - after all, who could pick just one!

Bach is back! Transmogrified, that is. BMOP presents The New Brandenburgs, six works by Stephen Hartke, Paul Moravec, Christopher Theofanidis, Melinda Wagner, Peter Maxwell Davies, and Aaron Jay Kernis that take Bach's six groundbreaking Brandenburg Concertos as their blueprint.

Frontpage Image Text 

Orchestral composer, DJ, curator...Mason Bates has no need of a day/night split personality: he combines traditional virtuosity and symphonic color with techno beats, electronica, and improvisation in his orchestral works. Mothership features five compositions, ranging in inspiration from oceanic depths to Pima Indian chant to a hybrid technological art of the future. Not to be missed!
