The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and saxophonist Branford Marsalis have spent decades fine-tuning a connection that transcends stylistic labels. In this concert, they revisit Ibert’s Concertino da Camera from their landmark 2001 album together, Creation, and perform Zachary Wadsworth’s 2021 orchestration of Claude Debussy’s sultry Rhapsody. Veteran Orpheus orchestrators Javier Diaz and Jannina Norpoth make the ensemble shine in foreign escapades from two geniuses of genre-hopping: George Gershwin and Cuba’s Ernesto Lecuona. Antonio Garcia, a jazz composer and trombonist steeped in the same New Orleans currents that nourished the Marsalis family, stirs the American melting pot in a new work for Orpheus.
