Primordial Swamp
45th Parallel Chamber OrchestraOne of the best things about 45th Parallel is the idea that a group of restless musicians could get together in a room and come up with creative and unconventional programs that don’t otherwise fit in our respective ensembles. Our first Primordial Swamp features Martha Long and Marilyn de Oliveira performing Reza Vali’s vivid Folk Songs, with the composer present to introduce his wonderful piece. We also have great fun with Martinů’s brilliant Nonet, and celebrate the release of 45th Parallel’s latest recording with a performance of Dohnányi’s Sextet.
