New World Symphony Goes Brilliantly Blue
Manage episode 376328463 series 2906071
“It will be blue for the Miami sky and for the sea, but also blue for the frames of Emtiti,” said Stéphane Denève enthusiastically, making a gesture around his face.
Emtiti. Is that … something Egyptian? “No, no,” he laughed. “M.T.T. You know, Michael Tilson Thomas! He wears those blue glasses!” Denève was discussing some of the themes he plans to explore in his first season leading the New World Symphony as artistic director. His enthusiasm was infectious. Blue is for the city, he said, but also for his predecessor and collaborator, who co-founded the symphony 35 years ago and who will be presenting several works this season as artistic director laureate.
