Christopher Theofanidis A Thousand Cranes (Symphony No. 2) for strings and harp

East Coast Chamber Orchestra (ECCO) and harpist Sivan Magen bring this world premiere to the Soundings series

Inspired by the power of a child’s innocence to transcend human tragedy, Theofanidis’ work forms the cornerstone of a program that includes works by Jörg Widmann, Philippe Hersant and Johann Sebastian Bach, reflecting both the human desire to harness unattainable power and the limitless power of human expression.
