As New Century prepares to embark on a 30th anniversary European tour, we invite you to join the orchestra on a series of musical journeys that spark meaningful insights from ideas of the past. Two works explore American’s identity as a melting pot, including Jessie Montgomery’s Banner, a reimagining of our national anthem, and Nico Muhly’s Stranger, a song cycle that reflects on the American immigrant experience, featuring acclaimed tenor Nicholas Phan. Masterful tributes to their predecessors are showcased in two landmark British works from the 20thcentury, Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis and Benjamin Britten’s Variations on a Theme by Frank Bridge. The world premiere of a new co-commissioned work by Hannah Kendall rounds out the program.
