Marin Alsop and the Philadelphia Orchestra

DateSunday, July 2, 2023 at 2:32PM

Sometime toward the end of May I received notice from Boosey & Hawkes, my publisher in London, that the Philadelphia Orchestra had requested permission to orchestrate my PHOENIX SONG for a concert June 3rd with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Marin Alsop.  Did they have my permission?  Yes, please!

The performance in Verizon Hall of the Kimmel Cultural Campus was magnificent.  The Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus, ANNA Crusis Feminist Choir and Philadelphia Voices of Pride sang beautifully, the orchestration was lush and lovely, and the orchestra was... well, the Philadelphia Orchestra.  This was a concert I will long remember.
