Orchestra Underground: A Time & Place by American Composers Orchestra December 3, 2010

A Time & Place explores composers’ reactions to specific moments, pinpointed and analyzed, which have inspired them to create something entirely new. Except for Charles Ives’ Central Park in the Dark, each piece performed during this concert will be a world premiere commissioned by ACO, including Douglas J. Cuomo’s Black Diamond Express Train to Hell, Jerome Kitzke’s The Fire at 4 a.m.; Christopher Trapani’s Westering, and Ryan Francis’ Highline, winner of the ACO/LVMH “A Greener New York City” commission.
