Ilona Oltuski of Sequenza 21 interviewed Metropolis composer Avner Dorman ahead of the Israeli Philharmonic’s premiere of his new work.
“On an unusually warm day in September, I am sitting down with Israel-born composer, Avner Dorman, at New York’s Bryant Park Pain Quotidien café. Before long, I am privy to a sneak preview of his freshly finished score for his latest composition, Azerbaijani Dance. Based on a piano piece of the same name, Dorman’s latest composition will have its world premiere this October, with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra under Zubin Mehta in Tel Aviv. This event will also ignite a season celebrating the legendary Maestro’s upcoming 50th Anniversary of his conducting debut.”
