Carter's performances are compelling, earthy, ferocious and risky.
The Guardian
The Boston Symphony Orchestra welcomes principal conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and music director of the Omaha Symphony Thomas Wilkins for a jazz-tinged, toe-tapping program of African-American and Puerto Rican composers. Esteemed saxophonist James Carter joins the ensemble for an electrifying performance in contemporary classical composer Robert Sierra's 'Concerto for Saxophones and Orchestra', a piece written specifically to showcase Carter's virtuosic playing against a classical-meets-jazz backdrop.
The evening's program also includes Dolphus Hailstork's 'An American Port Of Call' - a vibrant sonic celebration of the Virginia city Norfolk, Symphonic Reflections by Florence Price the first African-American female composer to have her work performed by a major symphony orchestra and Duke Ellington's 'A Tone Parallel to Harlem' from the Harlem Suite, a piece that evokes the hustle and bustle of the music-filled New York neighbourhood.
Performance date: 23 March 2019
