TRACES NYC Sponsor

TRACES. Orchestra. Circa Now.
An exhilarating sonic and visual experience brought to you by Sympho, the creators of REWIND.

TRACES will explore the concept of musical inspiration, tracing a line from each piece of music to its source from spiritual ceremony to narrative tales, and from dance forms to folk music. And Judd Greensteins newly-commissioned music will contain hints of the pre-existing pieces on the program, adding another layer of traces to the experience.

TRACES spans five centuries of music, from commissioned and spontaneously-created acoustic and electronic pieces by Greenstein and live electronica artist Paul Fowler, to pieces by Gorecki, Part, Corelli, Copland, and others. Internationally-renowned violinist Nurit Pacht joins forces with chamber orchestra SymphoNYC, conducted by artistic director Paul Haas, and French visual artist Romain Erkiletlian adds his vision to the mix.

Sympho brings the music right to you, surrounds you with it, and immerses you in it. There will be no breaks, allowing for an uninterrupted, constantly unfolding musical experience. March 26 and 27 at 8 p.m. at the Angel Orensanz Center in New York City.
