A new work by Cornell alum Zachary Wadsworth DMA ’12, will premiere next weekend in three concerts, including one at Cornell’s Bailey Hall.

The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra’s Oct. 26 program, part of the Dallas Morse Coors Concert Series, includes Wadsworth’s “Chamber Symphony (after Maurice Ravel’s Piano Trio in A Minor, M. 67a),” along with works by Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Chausson and Meyer. Violinist James Ehnes will be the featured musician.

The symphony is the fourth work that Orpheus has commissioned Wadsworth to compose. It was a challenge Wadsworth said he embraced because the composition involved taking Ravel’s already “big, audacious and quite orchestral” trio for piano, violin and cello and expanding it for the orchestra.
