The Frick Pittsburgh presents "Borealis," a contemporary multimedia concert conceived by soprano Lilly Abreu and media artist Andrés Tapia-Urzúa, featuring members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Cello Quartet, and Cello Fury, conducted by Flávio Chamis. Lilly Abreu and pianist Rodrigo Ojeda joined QED's Jim Cunningham to talk about the concert details.
The program brings together works by Couperin, Dvorák, Gardel, Ginastera, Mozart, Villa-Lobos, Cummings, and others, alongside the world premiere of a new work, "Borealis," by internationally acclaimed Chilean composer Boris Alvarado, written especially for this event. Both Lilly and Rodrigo speak about their study of music and becoming Pittsburghers after life in Brazil and Venezuela, respectively. Both now have affiliations with CMU. Lilly and Rodrigo also recorded "Melodia Sentimental" by Heitor Villa-Lobos in the WQED-FM studio.
