Last week’s launch of NY Phil Bandwagon featured the World Premiere of 2021 Sphinx Medal of Excellence Awardee Carlos Simon’s “loop” performed by New York Philharmonic violinist Yulia Ziskel, Principal Viola Cynthia Phelps, and cellist Sumire Kudo.
Simon writes about “loop”: “I wanted to compose a piece about something that has affected me and many others around the world: the COVID-19 pandemic. Before this crisis, my life was filled with many different varying experiences, but COVID-19 has forced my daily regime into a seemingly never-ending loop. My piece, “loop,” represents my mundane, day-to-day life for the past four months.”
See you on the road today through Sunday for week 2 of #NYPhilBandwagon!
