For the first concert of CITV’s season, on September 23rd the Broad Street Orchestra joined by soprano Andrea Bargabos returns to The School│Jack Shainman Gallery for Glorious Strings: Light and Darkness in the 19th and 20th Centuries.

Featured will be important works for string orchestra:

• the Romanian and Transylvanian Dances by Bartok,
• three songs (from op. 3 and op. 38) by Sibelius,
• Stravinsky’s exhilarating but not often performed Concerto in D (“Basle”) of 1946,
• Shostakovich’s Adagio and Allegretto, op. 36,
• and the famous Serenade in E, op. 22 by Dvorak.

CITV Assistant Conductor Noah Palmer will conduct the works by Bartok.

As many listeners know from prior concerts at The School, in this acoustically resonant venue the sound of strings and voices really is “glorious”! Those attending are encouraged to view the current exhibition: Travelogue, a survey exhibition in the main space by Radcliffe Bailey, along with a concurrent series of solo exhibitions. http://www.jackshainman.com/school-2/ 3:00pm, Sunday, September 23rd.
