THE ORFEO DUO ANNOUNCES THE
2005
WHAT A NEIGHBORHOOD! FESTIVAL
The Orfeo Duo’s What a Neighborhood! festival celebrates the community
around Morningside Park in Manhattan and its composers, bringing together
creative and community-minded neighbors. In the past two years, the festival
has featured programs of music by neighborhood composers and programs
illuminating creative communities of the nineteenth century. The concerts
have a special warm atmosphere and are imaginatively programmed, with a
profusion of artists, especially singers, and an abundance of music by
neighborhood composers.
