LA Phil

BARBER Medea’s Dance of Vengeance 

MIGUEL FARÍAS Mistralianas

DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 9

Adding to The Soraya’s tradition of presenting the world’s greatest orchestras, the LA Phil will at last make their Soraya debut. In 2017, The New York Times described the LA Phil as “the most important orchestra in America. Period.” LA Opera’s newly appointed music director, Domingo Hindoyan, leads the LA Phil and soprano Sonya Yoncheva in the world premiere of an LA Phil-commissioned song cycle from Venezuelan-Chilean composer Miguel Farías. Farías’ incandescent new work, Mistralianas, which pays homage to Nobel Prize-winning poet Gabriela Mistral, is paired with Barber’s Medea’s Dance of Vengeance, taken from his ballet Cave of the Heart which he wrote for Martha Graham, and Dvořák’s beloved and enduring Ninth Symphony.
