Orchestra Underground: Lines on a Point

ACO continues its 37th season – and the 10th anniversary season of its signature Orchestra Underground series – with Lines on a Point led by Music Director George Manahan and anchored by Steve Reich’s landmark work Eight Lines with pianists Margaret Kampmeier and Stephen Gosling, as well as the New York premiere of statement to the court by David Lang, 2013–2014 holder of the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair at Carnegie Hall, performed by ACO with celebrated Philadelphia chamber choir The Crossing. The concert also includes two world premieres commissioned by ACO – Amy Beth Kirsten’s strange pilgrims for orchestra and choir with video by Mark DeChiazza, and Lisa Renée Coons’ Vera’s Ghosts featuring ACO’s strings. The Crossing takes center stage for the New York premiere of Ted Hearne’s Ripple for choir a cappella, conducted by Donald Nally.
