“With a foundation of ambient sound and vocal writing that underlines the most important moments with plangent harmonies, this is often mesmerising. The variations grow more meaningful and tragic as they pass, and the effect grows hypnotic.”

“For this production, the outstanding Metropolis Ensemble was tucked away not in an orchestra pit but in a loft above the entrance to the hall… There was an almost cinematic quality to the dramatically pointed timbral effects of the orchestration, and each of them hit its mark.”

“Singers Paul Appleby, Mikaela Bennett, John Brancy, and Chuanyuan Liu were sensational; so, too, was the Metropolis Ensemble, effectively and excitingly led by Raquel Acevedo Klein.”

“Cerrone’s tonal music has a hypnotic, fluid quality to it that varies from scene to scene, from one role to another, matched superbly by the storytelling of Fleischmann… The instrumental work of the Metropolis Ensemble under conductor Luke Poeppel couldn’t have been better.”

“Stylized yet sensual… the highlight of the festival was Christopher Cerrone’s “In a Grove,” a haunting psychological thriller with a libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann.”

Perhaps the best way to celebrate the summer solstice today: two live performances of Canto Ostinato in a brand new arrangement for 50 musicians. Erik Hall joins the Metropolis Ensemble and Sandbox Percussion for the performance at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

It was new to me; it was new to Andrew; it was new to Sandbox. It will likely be new to the vast majority of our concert audience. For lovers of Reich, Glass, and Riley, there is simply zero reason to miss Simeon ten Holt.

Metropolis Ensemble founder and conductor Andrew Cyr discovered the piece through a feature in The New York Times that included Hall who had recently released Canto Ostinato via Austin record label Western Vinyl.

This time Canto Ostinato’s palette comprises several keyboards, extensive mallet percussion, woodwinds, and strings, and rather than just fall straight into fanfare, we want to use these many tones to go deep into the inherent beauty of the piece.
