Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas led by Alondra de la Parra opens season with special guest Chris Noth

The Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas (POA), led by Founder and Music Director Alondra de la Parra, will open the 2010-11 concert season with a performance featuring actor Chris Noth (The Good Wife, Sex and the City) as the narrator in Aaron Copland’s A Lincoln Portrait. Audiences will also have the opportunity to hear Mexican composer Carlos Chávez’s rarely-performed work, Caballos de Vapor Suite, in its entirety. A movement of the suite is included on Mi Alma Mexicana, De la Parra and POA’s debut recording for Sony Classical, which was released in August 2010 and is a bestseller in the United States and Mexico. Pulitzer and Grammy-winning composer Jennifer Higdon’s Concerto for Orchestra completes the concert.
