...Hirsch. "You haven't heard anything until you've heard thirty steel drums banging simultaneously with an orchestra." Hirsch says the Sinfonietta had also hosted concerts with bagpipes, and once featured an Indonesian gamelan orchestra, using gongs and mallet-struck instruments. Two years ago, the Sinfonietta collaborated with alternative rock band Poi Dog Pondering in a "remix and re-invention" of Dvorak's "New World" Symphony. The concert was so popular that the Sinfonietta's coming season will again pair the band with the orchestra for a performance of Bizet's Carmen...
...international DJs but also the superior live performances (U.S. theremin virtuoso Pamelia Kurstin was among the recent acts).

The songs are all nearly perfect: relentlessly percussive, and affecting without being sappy. As if that weren’t enough, David Bowie performs a guest benediction on “Province...
