The Dream of America
Bellingham Symphony Orchestra - Mount Baker Theatre
Program Info: Join the orchestra and cellist Meeka Quan DiLorenzo for a powerful afternoon!
First, we’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Mexican composer Arturo Márquez’s Conga del Fuego. Composed in 2005, this quick 3-minute piece translates as “Conga of Fire” and is a pulsating, joyous burst of dance.
Next, cellist Meeka Quan DiLorenzo joins the orchestra for contemporary Chinese American composer Tan Dun’s Crouching Tiger Concerto from the iconic Ang Lee film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). The score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon earned Tan an Academy Award and a Grammy. Written for and inspired by Yo-Yo Ma, this concerto for cello and orchestra features melodies and performing techniques indicative of the cultural intermingling that took place along the Silk Road.
