Eight Louisville Youth Orchestra members recently had the
opportunity to perform with Jordanian composer and pianist Zade
Dirani in his "Roads to You Louisville" concert. Daniel
Rothenberg, Mike Lambert, Ilona Limonta-Volkova, Kenney Ulrich,
Miranda Martin, Chip Carnes, Elena Dias, and Lindsey Becker, all
string players in the LYO Symphony Orchestra, took the stage at
Male HS Auditorium May 19th to be part of this special event.
LYO strings joined forces with professional orchestra members who
regularly tour with Zade to backup the gifted pianist in many of
his own compositions. Zade's "Roads to You" tour promotes cultural
understanding, tolerance, and peace as his music attempts to break
down barriers between cultures and religions and promote
diversity.
The LYO members worked closely with Zade and the other musicians
throughout their week of residency in Louisville. They leave the
experience with hopefully not only an exciting performance,
but also learning more about different styles of music and the
cultures of the many countries represented.
