Premiere with Concerto Copenhagen of a work for baroque orchestra, written by the American composer Victoria Bond, commissioned by Roskilde Music Association. The work is commissioned with full support from the Danish Composers' Association's Fair Practice Award 2022, which was awarded to Roskilde Music Association in 2022.

For her work New York City at Night, Victoria Bond has found inspiration in the artist Georgia O'Keeffe's characteristic New Yorker paintings from the latter half of the 1920s. The four movements of the work are Bond's musical interpretations of four paintings, and there is no doubt: we are in New York, and in a time of metropolitan growth; not least in the height where the skyscrapers one by one are springing out of the ground and towering towards the sky. It is all magnificent, but man is small in the pulsating traffic on the boulevards, among the vertical surfaces of the monumental high-rise buildings and the shining eyes from the car headlights and the windows of the skyscrapers.

Victoria Bond’s Dancing on Glass evokes the unique musical language that has garnered accolades for this American composer and conductor. Scion for solo cello reveals Betsy Jolas, doyenne of Franco-American sophistication, still at the top of her game at age 97. Moritz Moszkowski’s Suite for Two Violins and Piano offers turn-of-the-century fireworks and we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel’s birth with his ravishing String Quartet

America/Beautiful is a project by pianist and arts advocate Min Kwon, in which she has commissioned a diverse group of more than 70 of today’s leading American composers to each compose a variation on “America the Beautiful.”

Kwon's hope is to paint a sonic picture of her adopted country in all of its sprawling complexity, and ultimately try to find the beauty at the core of the American experiment and its credo of e pluribus unum (out of many, one).
