New York’s New Orchestra Moderne Focuses On The Issues Of The City

This month, for the inaugural concert, that means immigration. The orchestra’s founder and conductor: ” want people to leave the concert hall with the idea that orchestras can connect to current events. This is a perfect opportunity for classical music to shake the dust off its programming and become an active, viable part of the community. By taking a stance on social justice and doing a program on immigration, I hope we’ll encourage other orchestras to be movers and shakers.”
