Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Fazil Say
Thursday,
April 28, 2022, 8 PM
Free for
children under 18*
Tickets are
selling fast!
Hear the
Grammy-Award winning ensemble play with the pianist The
Observer described as the “definition of virtuosity” one
night before they perform at Carnegie Hall, right here in the
Museum’s intimate Bickford Theatre!
In the spring
of 2020 when the pandemic took hold and concert venues were closing
their doors, the Morris
Museum opened its parking lot with two new series: The Lot of
Strings Music Festival and Jazz on the Back Deck. During this festival, the famed
Orpheus Chamber Orchestra performed multiple times and a special
relationship was born. Now the relationship culminates in an evening
featuring the full orchestra and guest soloist, Turkish pianist,
Fazil Say.
Say joins the
orchestra for two selections -his own Silk Road Piano
Concerto No. 2, Op. 4, in which he shares his own musical exploration
of the legendary Silk Road and Turkey’s role in this fascinating
chapter of history - and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major,
K. 488, composed in his heyday in Vienna. These selections, chosen
very deliberately, are a symbol of reunion and musical friendship;
Orpheus and Say last collaborated in 2015 and 2016 at Carnegie Hall
together, with performances declared to be “all exuberance”
by The New York Times.
TICKETS: General Admission is $40.00.
Member tickets are $35.00. Become a Member today. $75 VIP Tickets include
post-performance reception with artists.

All Vows
A Live Arts
World Premiere!
WHEN: Three Performances: Friday, May 6, 8:00pm; Saturday, May 7, 8:00pm; and Sunday, May 8, 2:00pm
All Vows is a puppet memory play by puppeteer,
theatre artist, and writer, Sam Jay Gold, where history and
imagination collide in a heartwarming tale. The play is centered on
the possibly true life of his grandfather, Poppy, a Russian Jewish
refugee raised in China. Poppy is portrayed through five hand-carved,
wooden puppets, each modeled after him at a different age in his
life.
All Vows was first developed at St.
Ann’s Warehouse Puppet Lab with Matt Acheson and Lake Simons as Lab
Co-Directors at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY, in 2019.
Additional development made possible with the generous support of The
Jim Henson Foundation.
All Vows was created partially in
residence at Live Arts at the Morris Museum.
