May 29: Bronx Arts Ensemble performs "Journey to the West"

The Bronx Arts Ensemble Orchestra co-commissioned Journey to the West, a double concerto for 50-piece orchestra with Erhu (Chinese violin) and Flute soloists, and will present it's New York premiere. The piece is my biggest work in five years!

Inspired by the eponymous novel (Wu Cheng'en), Journey to the West relates an epic tale of heroic adventure and personal growth through four cinematic movements: "Monkey's Mischief," "Mountain of the Five Elements," "Journey to the West," and "Illumination."

This free performance will be a spectacularly fun affair. Other works on the program include such favorites as Les Miserables, The Sound of Music, Aaron Copland's Old American Dances... and of course The Stars and Stripes Forever!
