The New York City Opera Orchestra Music of Survival: Works by Weinberg, Korngold, and Rovner
The supremely gifted and versatile cellist Kristina Reiko Cooper will join the New York City Opera Orchestra as a soloist in a concert led by Music Director and Executive Director Constantine Orbelian at Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall on Monday evening, February 24, 2025, at 8 pm EDT.
Celebrating survival and perseverance through the universal language of music, the program features Polish Jewish composer Mieczysław Weinberg’s Suite from The Last Inch; the New York premiere of Mr. Weinberg’s Fantasy for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 52; and Austrian Jewish composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Cello Concerto. The music of both these outstanding 20th-century artists was suppressed by the Nazis and, in Weinberg’s case, by Stalin as well. This concert hopes to uncover their poignant stories and to re-engage with these canceled composers. The second half of the program includes the U.S. premiere of contemporary composer Gennady Rovner’s Symphony Metamorphosis, with soprano Elizaveta Ulakhovich.
