CLICK HERE FOR FREE TICKETS Obsession Music by Bach, Ysaÿe and Kramer for six violins, with dancers and actor Special guests: String Orchestra of New York City with actor Jack Clark, dancers Angelina Laguna and A’lia Martin. Thursday, May 11 1:00 PM The Violin section of String Orchestra of New York City will perform special arrangements of the music by Ysaÿe and Bach, as well as new music by Karl Kramer. Ysaÿe was a world-renowned Belgian violinist who as a composer took his inspiration from Bach. His solo-sonata “Obsession” is re-arranged for six violins, exploring the structure and sonic potential of the score. This work inspired Karl Kramer to write a one-man play for the young actor Jack Clark - currently a student at Fordham University. Bach’s Second Suite for solo Cello will be presented in Karl Kramer’s new arrangement for the same instrumentation of six violins. He has also written his own suite in direct response to Bach’s score. Young dancers Angelina Laguna and A’lia Martin have provided choreography and will dance to these movements. String Orchestra of New York City has released several CDs, and performed across the US to great acclaim, and have been called “a composer’s dream” by Pulitzer-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis.
