 Dmitri Shostakovich: from Symphony
No. 10
(Portrait of Stalin)
Michael Daugherty: The Metropolis Symphony
(Red
Cape Tango, Lex Luthor, Oh Lois)
John Williams: from Superman
After its triumphant concert held at New York
City's The Town Hall to
capacity audiences, One World Symphony returns to embrace
eclecticism in music. Infused by classical, rock, and pop
culture, Michael Daugherty's Metropolis Symphony celebrates
one of America's most beloved superheros and his arch-nemesis
Lex Luthor. Considered to be a "portrait of Stalin," Dmitri
Shostakovich's monumental Tenth Symphony may have
been a profoundly personal expression what life was like,
not just for Shostakovich himself, but for millions of individuals
during Stalin's regime. Even today, the debate continues:
is Stalin a hero, villain, or beyond categorization? Elementary
violin students from The Promise Academy at the Harlem Children's
Zone will join One World Symphony in performing John Williams'
soaring and heroic score from Superman. This thrilling
program is both a tribute and a remembrance for an outstanding
musician and friend, James Coleman.
