Queer Urban Orchestra: "Fantastic Dreams" - Premiere of "Prelude to Hymns of the Sky"

  • Church of the Holy Apostles 296 9th Ave New York, NY 10001 USA (map)

QUO opens with NYC composer Gilbert Galindo’s “Prelude to Hymns of the Sky”, a “musical response to the expansiveness of that [New Mexico] sky, setting the stage for it to divulge its secret celestial melodies.” QUO is then joined by James Adler, a pianist who “can create whatever type of music he wants at the keyboard” (Chicago Sun-Times) for Rachmaninoff’s dreamy Piano Concerto No. 2. And speaking of dreams, what better piece to conclude with than Berlioz’ “Symphonie fantastique”.
