Zappa Concerts
Orchestra 2001 presented two epic concerts in April 2018 at World Cafe Live and The Fillmore Philadelphia: Zappa's Radical Classical Roots & Celebrating Frank Zappa's The Yellow Shark
The concerts celebrated Frank Zappa's genre-defying classical compositions from The Yellow Shark and works by his greatest influences: Edgard Varèse, Anton Webern, Igor Stravinsky, and Pierre Boulez. Major Support for this project was provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.

Orchestra 2001 presents the Philadelphia premiere of the genre-defying compositions from The Yellow Shark, in the 25th anniversary year of the album’s release and of Zappa’s death. The 16 pieces that comprise this program were described by Zappa as the best representation of his orchestral works. In a program at World Cafe Live the week before, Orchestra 2001 pairs Zappa’s chamber music with contemporary classical composers who were most influential to his development: Edgard VareÌ€se, Anton Webern, Igor Stravinsky, and Pierre Boulez.
