READ MOREWelcome to EXO
We are thrilled to share that our 2024 recording with Curtis Stewart, American Counterpoints, has been nominated in TWO Grammy® Award categories, for Best Classical Compendium, and for Best Classical Instrumental Solo. We are so honored, and grateful to everyone who helped us make those recordings a reality.
This fall, we are excited to be invited by the Library of Congress to present a program celebrating the 100th Anniversary of that institution.
This performance features Washington, D.C. Premiere of American composer Julia Perry’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, whose centenary is also this year, performed by four-time Grammy® Nominee Curtis Stewart and played on Fritz Kreisler’s violin; an immersive performance of Arnold Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) with newly-written narration by violinist and author Ling Ling Huang. This experiential concept is based on the woman’s confession in the Dehmel poem that originally inspired Schoenberg, incorporating secrets, some shared by audience members, all under the direction of Grammy®-winning Music Director James Blachly.
Compositions by Alan Hovhaness and Irving Fine round out the program, reflect music from the archives of the Library of Congress, in celebration of the centenary of the institution.
