Matthew Evan Taylor: Life Returns 
Metropolis Ensemble with RAJAS

Composer/saxophonist Matthew Evan Taylor’s Life Returns is an evening-length composition that draws from African American, South Indian, and Western European musical practices. The culmination of a yearlong commission by MetLiveArts and the Grammy-nominated Metropolis Ensemble, in collaboration with mrudangam artist Rajna Swaminathan’s ensemble RAJAS, Life Returns is a melding of freely improvised and through-composed music celebrating resilience in the face of despair and the triumph of light and color over darkness.

This program is made possible by the Adrienne Arsht Fund for Resilience through Art and the New York State Council on the Arts.

Leon Botstein and The Orchestra Now

Dvořák, MacDowell, and Delacroix: The New World
Sunday, April 10, 2022

Wynona Wang, piano

The Met continues its ongoing series exploring the parallels between orchestral music and the visual arts. Conductor and music historian Leon Botstein draws connections between French artist Eugène Delacroix’s painting of a Natchez family forced to flee after the massacre of their tribe and American composer Ferruccio Busoni’s Indian Fantasy (1913–14), which is based on Indigenous melodies and rhythms, and the second movement of Antonín Dvořák's New World Symphony (1893), which was inspired by Longfellow's much-critiqued poem “The Song of Hiawatha.” The program will be followed by a Q&A.
