KEYFRAMES FOR A HIPPOGRAPH
OLGA NEUWORTH WITH ANDREW WATTS CONDUCTOR AND NY PHILHARMONIC
DAVID GEFFEN HALL, LINCOLN CENTER, NYC

SINGING PERFORMANCE WITH THE BROOKLYN YOUTH CHORUS
Brooklyn Youth Chorus sings at the NY Premiere of Olga Neuwrith's Keyframes for a Hippogriff with the NY Philharmonic Orchestra at David Geffen Hall. Prokofiev saw his Fifth Symphony as “glorifying the grandeur of the human spirit.” Thomas Søndergård, in his NY Phil debut, conducts the concerts, which open with Lili Boulanger’s cheerful ode to a spring morning. Olga Neuwirth’s Project 19 commission sets to music texts by Ariosto, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Friedrich Nietzsche, graffiti artists, and others, including Neuwirth herself.
