Manchester Symphony Orchestra will perform a world premiere during its \u201cTake Flight\u201d concert Sunday in Warsaw.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Flock\u201d is a double concerto by Jacob Warren and Grant Flick featuring Warren on upright bass and Flick on classical guitar, violin and the Swedish folk instrument nyckelharpa.<\/p>\n
Conductor and Artistic Director Debra Lynn says the piece is \u201chot off the press\u201d with the score having been received in March. Premiering new work takes a different mindset than an established work, she says in a news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor one thing, there are no recorded references,\u201d Lynn says. \u201cIf we perform a Mozart symphony or a Beethoven concerto, I have a myriad of recorded performances to consult for interpretive elements such as tempo, articulation, and expressive nuance. With a premiere, we are creating the definitive performance against which other symphonies will measure themselves in the future. So, it\u2019s a big responsibility guided only by the notes on the page.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lynn has enjoyed working with the composers, known as Warren & Flick. The pair\u2019s three albums all carry bird themes, and Lynn says \u201cThe Flock\u201d an exciting and unique piece of symphonic music.<\/p>\n
The \u201cTake Flight\u201d concert features works inspired by things that fly, from mythological creatures to airplanes, clouds, aliens and more. It includes the U.S. premiere of \u201cA Small White Cloud Drifts over Ireland\u201d by Irish composer Se\u00f3irse Bodley, as well as the well-known \u201cFlying Theme\u201d from \u201cE.T. the Extra-Terrestrial\u201d by John Williams.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake Flight\u201d is the final concert of the orchestra\u2019s 87th season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester Symphony Orchestra will perform a world premiere during its \u201cTake Flight\u201d concert Sunday in Warsaw. \u201cThe Flock\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3152,3695,3694,3693,238,3696,45],"class_list":{"0":"post-4430","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-warsaw","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-debra-lynn","10":"tag-eagles-theatre","11":"tag-manchester-symphony-orchestra","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-warren-flick","14":"tag-warsaw"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
