Garbage Concerto in New York

6/6/2008

On June 6, 2008, the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas, directed by the young Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra, gave the New York premiere of the Garbage Concerto in a performance featuring Tambuco, Mexico's leading percussion group. They played on a set of instruments made out of Mexican garbage that they previously used in a performance of the same piece in Mexico City. Each movement was enthusiastically applauded. The event took place at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, home of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, and was followed by a gala reception.
