New Partnership with Smithsonian

Metropolis Ensemble is pleased to announce a new partnership with Smithsonian Magazine, kicking off our 2007 concerts in New York City. Smithsonian is proud to be supporting Metropolis Ensemble and its emerging composers, musicians and the creation of music as a living art form.

"Smithsonian Magazine readers are avid cultural catalysts, and an overwhelming number of them fulfill their passion for the arts by regularly attending live music performances." —Kerry Bianchi, Smithsonian Publishing Group Publisher


Our spring concert will live up to that expectation, as conductor Andrew Cyr leads an international ensemble in a bluegrass inflected "east-meets-west" Mandolin Concerto by renowned Israeli composer Avner Dorman, complimented by in-vogue Argentinean composer Osvaldo Golijov, and the soaring Chamber Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovich.
