Kamran Ince's "Domes" Opens American Composers Orchestra Season at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall

Kamran Ince's Domes sees its New York premiere on November 14 in Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall, performed by the American Composers Orchestra under conductor Jeffrey Milarsky. The work comes as part of the opening concert of ACO's "Orchestra Underground" series, founded in 2004 specifically for performances of experimental music at Zankel Hall. Composed in 1993 and influenced by the composer's Turkish-American roots, Domes is an extended meditative suite for orchestra that reflects Ince's observations at a time of religious extremist crisis: the bombing of the World Trade Center and the Branch Davidian incident in Waco, Texas. Ince elaborates:

...an organically inter-related nocturne of dipping suspension bridge design, [with a] mood throughout of spiritual obsession, ever descending lines searching for something, trying to feel what they are searching for, to seek out what they are feeling.

Maestro Milarsky and the ACO also perform Domes at the International House of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia on Sunday, November 16.
