Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center

Now the work of another celebrated immigrant composer, Italian-American Giancarlo Menotti.

This is the world premiere performance of his work, Nocturne, which was written for the birthday of Alice Tully and premiered by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in October 1982.

It's performed by members of the society, as well as guest artist Marvis Martin, another singer I've previously featured on the podcast.

Since I first posted that episode, Marvis, who in the later years of her career was a member of the Met Chorus, has since retired from her position in the chorus.

What's this for?

It's for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center piece that we're doing, uh, Jazz at Lincoln Center is doing with them.

Yeah.

And it's, uh, it's based on the, Stravinsky's piece.
