Pegasus: The Orchestra brings together eighteen of its members to present three American masterpieces. Through history and geography, Americana reflects on the American landscape in its triumph and turbulence, with a presentation of Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings. Karén Hakobyan (who will perform and conduct from the piano) will also share his new arrangement of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue—a bold and exuberant jewel of classical jazz. A nod to America’s past, Pegasus: e Orchestra reminds audiences of the American music melting pot.

Pegasus: The Orchestra is a nonprofit professional orchestra-in-residence at Mana Contemporary with a mission to empower rising musicians with artistic freedom and promote innovative repertoire in an environment
of creative thought and expression, led by founder, artistic director, and conductor Karén Hakobyan.
