Dr. William Schimmel to Perform with James Galway, Nashville – USAby Rob Howard |
Dr. William Schimmel will perform Domenic Argento's ‘Valentino Dances’ with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra (MD Giancarlo Guerrero) on September 11th, 12th and 13th at the new Schermerhorn Center. The performance also features the world famous flautist Sir James Galway. William Schimmel has performed this piece on tour with the Minnesota Orchestra and recorded it with them on Reference Records. He also performed this work with the Grand Teton Festival Orchestra in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and the Eugene Symphony in Eugene, Oregon. ’Valentino Dances’ is a ten-minute showpiece - adapted from his full-length opera, ‘The Dream of Valentino’ - about Rudolph Valentino, the movie star and tango dancer of 1920s Hollywood. Brilliantly conceived and elegantly orchestrated, it leaves plenty of room for William Schimmel's tango expertise through embellishment, phrasing, ornamentation and cadenzas. |
