The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), the nations leading orchestra dedicated exclusively to performing, commissioning, and recording new music, pays homage to the influential yet largely unknown music by Armenian-American 20th century composer Alan Hovhaness (1911-2000) at Jordan Hall (30 Gainsborough Street), Friday, May 23rd @ 8:00pm. While showcasing Hovhanesss large symphony Exile Symphony along with three of his Three Armenian Rhapsodies, the program premieres two BMOP-commissioned works by Armenian composers: Vache Sharafyans Sinfonia No. 2 Un Poco Concertante; and Tigran Mansurians Three Arias: Sung Out the Window Facing Mount Ararat featuring Grammy-nominated violist Kim Kashkashian.
