A new orchestra series premieres

Straight from Beijing beginning January 6, WFMT will air performances from China’s National Centre for the Performing Arts. Affectionately referred to as “The Giant Egg” by locals due to its striking architectural features, the venue hosts a wide range of artists and ensembles including the stellar NCPA Orchestra headed by conductor and Music Director Lü Jia. This winter, the NCPA Orchestra will perform an inspired and diverse set of concerts that will include performances by Lang Lang and 2021 International Chopin Competition This Week from winner Bruce (Xiaoyu) Liu. China’s National WFMT General Manager Centre for the George Preston, also Executive Producer and host of the series, Performing Arts offers his thoughts: “The National Centre for the Performing Arts in Thursdays Beijing, while still a young orga9:00 pm nization, is quickly gaining an international reputation for artistic excellence. NCPA is also regarded as one of the world’s most innovative presenters of music, dance, and theater. It is especially important in turbulent times that we focus on the power of music and art to serve as a bridge to bring people together in celebration of the wonder of human creativity.”

Fire Shut Up in My Bones

From the Metropolitan Opera: Fire Shut Up in My Bones

The adaptation of Charles M. Blow’s moving memoir is quite simply the most talked-about opera of the season. It’s a Metropolitan Opera premiere, which also marked the return of live opera at the Met, was a sold-out smash hit. Lyric Opera of Chicago’s production later this winter will share two cast members from the Met: the ravishing soprano Latonia Moore (heard as Aida at Ravinia Festival in 2013), and Ryan Opera Center alum Will Liverman.

A Beautiful Symphony of Brotherhood: A Musical Journey in the Life of Martin Luther King, Jr.

The iconic minister and activist grew up listening to and singing church songs and saw gospel and folk music as natural tools to further the civil rights movement.
