Weekend of October 13, 2012
Maria Schneider
Maria Schneider is a jazz composer based in New York City. She doesn't usually write music in the classical genre. But the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra recently commissioned her to write a piece for soprano and chamber orchestra. This weekend, we'll hear the world premiere of Schneider's "Carlos Drummond de Andrade Stories," from a concert by Dawn Upshaw and the SPCO.
