The Arcos Orchestra will launch their fourth European tour with a performance on the Westermann Stage in the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (AUPAC), located at 1 South Avenue, Garden City on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at 8:00 p.m.
Consisting of outstanding young players from around the world, the Manhattan-based Arcos Orchestra approaches orchestral playing with the chamber musician's sense of discipline: individual instrumental mastery; in-depth knowledge of the composer's life and music; and selfless co-operation in service of the composer's intentions. Arcos is led by founder and conductor John-Edward Kelly.
Arcos Orchestra concertmaster Marc Uys is Adelphi University Department of Music’s adjunct instructor of violin and the concertmaster of the Adelphi Symphony Orchestra. He is a very active performer internationally, playing frequently with orchestras, chamber ensembles and as a soloist.
The Arcos Orchestra is particularly dedicated to discovering and presenting great music of composers whose work is little known. The members of the orchestra understand that the music of our time has grown out of the great traditions preceding it, and that today's music can be neither well-performed nor well-received if estranged from its historical context. The Adelphi University Department of Music and the Performing Arts Center are thrilled to bring this dynamic ensemble to the Concert Hall. The program includes works by Antonin Dvořák, Pehr Henrik Nordgren, Dmitri Shostakovich and Juilliard composition professor Samuel Adler.
Founded in 2005, the Arcos Orchestra was named in 2010 the first-ever Orchestra-in-Residence at New York's historic Temple Emanu-El, located at Fifth Avenue and 65th Street.
