World Premiere of Awakening from a Disappearing Garden
OCTOBER 27, 2009, 6:03 pm
Yo-Yo Ma and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Robert Spano, presented the world premiere of composer Angel Lam’s new work: Awakening From a Disappearing Garden for solo cello and orchestra on October 15, 2009.
Yo-Yo’s relationship to the composer goes back to 2005-2006, when she was awarded a Carnegie Hall Emerging Composer Commission. The resulting work, Empty Mountain Spirit Rain, was developed in part in a workshop setting with the Silk Road Ensemble in March 2005 and was also part of the Carnegie Hall/Tanglewood Music Center/Silk Road Project workshop in August 2006. This piece has been part of the touring repertoire for the Silk Road Ensemble for several years and has been recorded by the SRE.
Lam’s music reflects the beauty she finds in everyday life. Her works begin life as a narrative; through her own short stories that form an integral part of her compositional method, drawing on Western and Chinese classical sources.
In Awakening from a Disappearing Garden, (commissioned by Carnegie Hall through the generosity of Henry R. Kravis in honor of his wife Marie-Josée) Lam’s story is “about two women, two different generations, two different eras, in a society that had turned our nature upside down and then upside down again . . .”
The New York premiere will take place at Carnegie Hall as part of it’s “Ancient Paths Modern Voices: A Festival Celebrating Chinese Culture” on November 7, 2009.

I was fortunate to attend a sold out performance and see the skill and grace that Mr. Ma is known for.
He is an outstanding musician and if you will forgive me, an outstanding entertainer as well.
BRAVO!

Music--It is the soundtrack to our lives. You might have driven your first car while the Go-Gos blared on the radio. You may remember singing “Memory” at your high school graduation, or you might have had the organist play “Ode to Joy” at your wedding. You may remember the first time you heard Bruce Springsteen, or the last time you heard Madonna. Whether your musical tastes are contemporary or classical, chances are you do have a favorite form of music. And you also probably have a favorite artist or band.

Would Love to hear this
I bet this was stunning. I'd love to hear a podcast. I'm sure it was amazing. How long does it take for Yo-Yo Ma to learn a piece like this?

I Wish...
I really wish I could see this guy perform. I love this kind of music; it's so relaxing. And I understand it stimulates the brain too. It's a shame there aren't more simple pleasures in life. So many people are having issues these days! I had a good friend ask me the other day how do you file bankruptcy yourself? I told him I didn't know. The only advice I could give was to be sure to get the right bankruptcy forms. I felt bad I couldn't help him more, but what could I do? Anyway, if there were more nice, simple, playful classic artists sharing their beautiful work, I think it would have a very pleasant impact on society... and really help ease some of the pressures people are feeling today. Perhaps we should softly pipe the music over town's speakers, to sooth the nerves of us all.
Premiere
It's really exciting that the world premiere of Awakening from a Disappearing Garden is happening.
Health
This site give me pleasant look and also the music touch he has is great. The reason people fond of music is to reduce hypertension and also important to know How to lose weight to avoid this hypertension.
Regards,
Jacob..
success
I'm sure the premiere will be successful.
