This fascinating tour of string music from four corners of the world is a special musical itinerary by American maestro Carlos Kalmar. Take a trip to Panama with the pioneering African-American composer William Grant Stillâs Dances of Panama, and a nostalgic English journey with Frank Bridge. Stay in step with a lyrical Scandinavian jaunt via young Nielsenâs elegaic Op. 1 and an inventive Entrâacte for strings by the Pulitzer-prize-winning Caroline Shaw, which she refers to as looking at the âother side of Aliceâs looking glass, in a kind of absurd, subtle, technicolor transition.â
