MAHLER CHAMBER SOLOISTS AT LIMELIGHT

In October 2011, seven MCO musicians make an appearance at the series Limelight - Classical Music in a Rock'n'Roll Setting at the "100 club" in London. Under the label of MCO Soloist the musicians of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra form smaller ensembles of various sizes on a regular basis in order to intensify what they consider to be the fundamental principles of their orchestra: fine-tuned listening and communicating in a group of alert and independent musical personalities. Listen here how the MCO musicians May Kunstovny and Michael Brooks Reid found playing for Limelight - and how the audience responded to their live set.
