Details

Three composers. Three extraordinary musical voices. Not nearly enough time.


The Civic Orchestra of New Haven, under the direction of Music Director Nadya Potemkina, presents Outrunning Time, a Masterworks concert featuring the works of Gordon Duncan, Lili Boulanger, and Vassili Kalinnikov — three composers whose lives were cut short, yet who left behind music of remarkable depth, originality, and expressive power.


The program opens with Gordon Duncan’s The Sleeping Tune, featuring the unexpected pairing of bagpipes and organ. Lili Boulanger’s rarely heard Vieille prière bouddhique brings together the orchestra, tenor Omar Jabril Sandakly, and the New Haven Chorale in a powerful musical reflection. The afternoon culminates with Vassili Kalinnikov’s Symphony No. 1, filled with sweeping melodies and rich orchestral color.
