American Composers Orchestra always pushes the envelope, and here they’re working with composers who transform folk traditions into something new. The transformations use electronic sounds, Chinese folk singing, and piano improvisations that blend classical music and jazz, drawing both on ancient cultures and on our own postmodern world.
