Conversation with Experiential Orchestra and Curtis Stewart

Leaders of the Experiential Orchestra -- including conductor James Blachly, director of artistic planning Pauline Kim Harris and concertmaster Henry Wang -- joined violin soloist Curtis Stewart and the Library's David Plylar for a discussion covering the development of the Experiential Orchestra's performance program at the Library of Congress. This program featured the music of Julia Perry (on the occasion of her centennial), Alan Hovhaness, Irving Fine and Arnold Schoenberg as part of the Library's Schoenberg at 150 celebration. Highlights of the program included Perry's Violin Concerto performed by Curtis Stewart and a modified version of Schoenberg's "Verklärte Nacht" with a new spoken text by Ling Ling Huang.
