This Feb 25-27 the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra is hosting an event they call
Arabian Nights featuring performances of Nielsen's
Aladdin Suite, Rimsky-Korsakov's
Scheherazade, and
Behzad Ranjbaran's Seemorgh.
From their website: http://www.njsymphony.org/10_11calendar/February.htm#nights
"ARABIAN NIGHTS | | |
Nights of adventure and intrigue await as Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade and Nielsen’s Aladdin Suite weave a spell with vivid orchestral color. Ranjbaran’s exciting music, based on an 11th-century Persian epic poem, fuses ancient and modern sounds." | | | | |
Here's a commercial for the event, interesting to note that the conductor says "Arabian Nights is such an enchanting phrase, one that captures Persian stories and exotic music."
