The Britt Festival Orchestra is online for those wishing to revisit some of their favorite performances from past summers with Music Director Teddy Abrams. BFOnline features five recordings, preceded by a discussion about the recorded work with Teddy, members of the BFO, and select guest artists and composers. Each recording will be accompanied by a visual element: either a score-follow video where you can read the score as the music plays, or a photo slideshow of the performance.
BFOnline streams every Friday at 3:00pm on their Facebook channel and opens with Tchaikovsky’s ever-popular 1812 Overture from the 2016 season. You can catch the 2017 recording of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde on July 31, featuring Richard Cox and Tamara Mumford as soloists. On August 7, enjoy Mason Bates’s Passage, a work for voice and orchestra featuring Sasha Cooke. The August 14 episode will feature Christopher Cerrone’s Meander Spiral Explode, a concerto for Third Coast Percussion and orchestra performed in 2019 at Britt. BFOnline closes with the incredible Crater Lake Project from 2016 in Michael Gordon’s Natural History on August 21.
