The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Presents Westside Connections 3 April 23, 2009

Current California poet laureate Carol Muske-Dukes brings her creativity and expertise to the closing event of Westside Connections’ inaugural season. Baritone Sanford Sylvan joins LACO to perform Dover Beach, Samuel Barber’s musical re-interpretation of Matthew Arnold’s poem by the same name. The piece fuses poetry with instrumental and vocal music, resulting in a hauntingly beautiful yet powerful work. This fascinating new series is curated by concertmaster Margaret Batjer.
