This season’s new Athens State Orchestra concert cycle is entitled “Music of the New World” and features works from the American avant-garde along with works written on American soil by important European composers. In the first concert in the cycle, the multifaceted Canadian maestro Charles Olivieri-Munroe conducts American works of varying hues and styles ranging from MacDowell’s emblematic Second Piano Concerto, with Charalambos Angelopoulos at the keyboard, to Barber’s ever-popular Adagio.
