The International Classical Season 2008/2009 Dawn Upshaw with the Andalucian Dogs and the Brodsky Quartet
Saturday 16th May 2009, 8.00pm
Old Fruitmarket :
A new and exciting departure for the International Classical Season is a concert in our well-loved atmosphere venue the Old Fruitmarket.
Golijov’s Ayre is a must-see spectacular musical event in which acclaimed soprano Dawn Upshaw gives voice to tales of love and war, and religion and rage, primarily from 15th-century Spain.
Golijov was inspired by the striking voice of the four-times Grammy award winner and composed this magnificent song-cycle especially for her. Tonight she will be joined by the highly acclaimed Brodsky Quartet in the third of their unique series of concerts with us.
For the premiere of Ayre, Golijov founded the all-star virtuoso ensemble, The Andalucian Dogs. Together with Dawn Upshaw, they premiered the piece at Zankel Hall in New York, the recording of which went on to receive a Grammy award nomination.
Golijov’s recently completed projects include Azul, a cello concerto for Yo-Yo Ma and the Boston Symphony, and the composition of the soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola’s recent film Youth Without Youth.
