Orchestra of St Luke's April 26, 2009

Carnegie Hall's 80th-birthday tribute to Andre Previn continues when he joins a star-studded group of friends for this all-Previn concert. Composed to highlight the velvet voice of soprano Renee Fleming, 'The Giraffes Go to Hamburg' is a strikingly moving vocal portrait inspired by Isak Dinesen's hit novel 'Out of Africa.' Along with arias from Previn's lyrical opera 'A Streetcar Named Desire,' the program features a new concerto for violin, viola, and orchestra, as well as Previn's tuneful portrait of violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.
