Pioneers on starship America

Article Abstract:

Michael Tilson Thomas is the charismatic founder of the national training orchestra, the New World Symphony Orchestra. He is a natural motivator and allows members to experiment with styles and sounds, and has imposed a system of rotation for the orchestra to experience playing lead and supporting roles. The orchestra is seen as a training ground for gifted postgraduate music students who use it as a stepping stone to more senior positions. Recent rehearsals in the Lincoln Theatre in Miami include music for the orchestra's first tour of the UK.

Is this man the next Pavarotti?

Article Abstract:

Young tenor Roberto Alagna is being hailed as 'the new Pavarotti.' He is recognised as being extremely gifted, and is a true tenor, something which is rare. His mixed French and Italian background gives him a distinctive timbre, mixing mellowness, fullness and sensitivity. He may become even more popular through his duet work with Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu.
