ORCHESTRA 2001'S NOVEMBER 2012 TOURS
Two extraordinary tours took music by Philadelphians to new audiences in America and abroad. Each of our concerts – four in Appalachia, one in Havana – was greeted by a standing ovation.
APPALACHIA
This tour was sponsored in part by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Orchestra 2001's November 2013 tour to Appalachia brought music by Philadelphia's Pulitzer Prize-winning composer George Crumb to audiences in West Virginia and Kentucky, the very area where Crumb grew up and first experienced many of the sounds and and sensations that have permeated his music ever since. Each of our concerts – at the Charleston Chamber Music Society, WV (11/4), Morehead State University, KY (11/5), the University of West Virginia, Morgantown (11/6), and the University of West Virginia, Parkersburg (11/8) – brought two of Crumb's most recent works to tremendously enthusiastic audiences. Featured on the programs were the final volume of Crumb's monumental series of American folk song settings, "Voices from the Heartland: American Songbook VII," (written for and premiered by Orchestra 2001 in January 2012) and his 2009 setting of poetic fragments of Federico García Lorca, "Sun and Shadow."
