Dear Dudley Arts Enthusiasts,

Wednesday, Sept 25, 8 pm, Jordan Hall, New England Conservatory of Music
(meet at 7:10 pm on Dudley House front steps)

The NEC Philharmonia will perform Tan Dun's Concerto for Orchestra ("Marco
Polo") and Brahms' symphony No. 1. The music of Tan Dun, a celebrated

the boundaries of classical music. This will be the North American premiere
performance of his piece, Concerto for Orchestra.
