Description
Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg’s inaugural set of concerts as NCCO Music Director will include a selection of Brazilian and Argentine music, featuring herself as soloist on Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires and Ginastera’s Glosses on Themes by Pablo Casals. The program opens with the world premiere of an NCCO commission, Clarice Assad’s new Impressions, Suite for Chamber Orchestra. The Villa-Lobos work, perhaps his best-known, was originally written for soprano and eight cellos, and will be presented in a new arrangement by Clarice Assad.

Program:
Clarice Assad: Impressions, Suite for Chamber Orchestra (NCCO Commission, World Premiere)
Alberto Ginastera: Glosses on Themes by Pablo Casals
Piazzolla (arr. Leonid Desyatnikov): Four Seasons of Buenos Aires
Heitor Villa-Lobos (arr. Clarice Assad): Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5
