JONATHAN SHEFFER Filmusic #1 (Premiere)
PHILIP GLASS Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra (New York Premiere)
PHILIP GLASS Suite from “The Hours” (New York Premiere)
SCHUBERT Symphony No. 2 (with new work by 4 video artists)
The influence of music on image, and image on music is examined. Two film suites show the results of music whose form is dictated by narrative. Then, Eos begins a season-long involvement with the music of Franz Schubert, a transitional early 19th-Century composer whose work is somehow perpetually modern, and whose songs in particular evoke vivid sound pictures, manifested here in video art created for this program. The Orchestra continues its association with Philip Glass, offering the first NY performance of a recent concerto.
