| On Sunday, the Philadelphia Orchestra plays (European music) here... |
Just in from the folks in Philly:
(Philadelphia, May 22, 2014)—As a special tour gift for its fans across the globe, The Philadelphia Orchestra will be streaming its concert Sunday, May 25, from the Shanghai Grand Theatre during its 2014 Tour of Asia & China Residency. The concert, which takes place at 7:30 PM in China and will be streamed at 7:30 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST), is the first symphonic webcast from China to an international audience.
The program? Jupiter and a Titan.
- Mozart: Symphony No. 41
- Mahler: Symphony No. 1
Would it not do more to try to cement the often chilly relations between these two countries by offering some of our music? I'll continue to shout from the rooftops (or the coffeehouses, as the case may be) until someone listens....
Recap: my own most recent program? Four Americans, a German, and a composer from Japan.
