Delos Diary

Just checked through the Moscow Chamber Orchestra's upcoming American tour schedule, and am awestruck by the number of concerts at far-flung venues that lie ahead for this intrepid band of musical virtuosi and their tireless conductor, Constantine Orbelian. So far I count 28 concerts between September 20, 2003 and May 11, 2004. By bus and plane (perhaps even dog-sled) they will bring their superlative music-making to cities in Alaska, New Jersey, New York, California, Alabama, Florida, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, and more. They probably see more of the USA in one season than many of us do in a lifetime. Accompanying them will be copies of their new Delos CD "Stars of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra" (DE 3327), to help keep the memories of their beautiful sound and their star soloists fresh and alive after they've departed. Before you play through the new CD they'll be traveling on to Palm Springs, Palm Beach, Los Alamos, Miami, Denver... and on... and on.
