In the year that Orpheus turns forty, jazz legend Wayne Shorter turns eighty. Both are in top form, and they are celebrating together with Shorter's original collaboration for jazz quartet and chamber orchestra. Joining the composer/saxophonist are Danilo Pérez (piano), John Patitucci (bass), and Brian Blade (drums), all world-class improvisers who bring fresh perspective to the musical give-and-take at the heart of the Orpheus process. The program begins with the Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, composed just as Beethoven was losing his hearing and honing his incisive musical language. Also featured is Charles Ives’ Symphony No. 3, The Camp Meeting, suffused with hymns from the composer’s youth.
