St. Stephen's Global Ensemble to Perform at Carnegie Hall

The St. Stephen's Episcopal School Global Ensemble will perform alongside world music band ATASH at Carnegie Hall in New York City on April 23. This program is part of the Ensemble Spotlight series presented by MidAmerica Productions.
 
The St. Stephen’s Global Ensemble is a touring chamber orchestra performing a highly expressive and dramatic concert of original music. This ensemble includes student members of the orchestral and percussion programs at St. Stephen’s performing with the award-winning, Austin-based ATASH.
 
St. Stephen’s orchestra director and ATASH violinist John Moon will lead the group through “Global Harmony,” an eclectic program influenced by classical, blues, jazz, percussion, Mystic Sufi, Central and South American, South Indian, and European musical traditions. 
 
Voted “Best World Music Band in Austin” for the past six years, ATASH combines master musicians from around the globe to create a powerful, worldly and original sound that inspires people of all ages and from all walks of life. Music director and founding member Roberto Riggio has composed and arranged ATASH music for the band, which includes full orchestra and percussion. Mohammad Firoozi, founding member and front man, sings lyrics in Farsi and English based on the poetry of Rumi, the 13th century Sufi mystic.
 
Trevor Detling, director of St. Stephen's Thunder Drumline, and Moon prepared the school’s student musicians as they learned to perform these highly intricate rhythmic, melodic and formal compositions.
