Drawing on the legendary breadth and depth of New York City’s freelance musical community, conductor George Rothman and composer Anthony Korf, who co-founded the orchestra in 1981, have forged a team of supremely accomplished instrumentalists, comfortable with music in an amazingly wide range of styles and periods.
Schubert’s ebullient violin showpiece is framed by up-and-coming American composer Jessie Montgomery’s vivacious opener and Bernard Herrmann’s 1960 Oscar-winning score for Psycho in concert version. This popular timepiece is answered by a rarely heard, nostalgia-tinged masterpiece by two-time Oscar winner Erich Korngold, a Viennese-American transplant who continued to compose in a “legit” vein long after his commercial success
