(Los Angeles, CA – August 21, 2023) Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO) launches its 2023/24 Orchestral Series with Music Director Jaime Martín conducting the highly anticipated West Coast premiere of Dai Wei’s poignant Invisible Portals, a co-commission by LACO and the American Composer’s Orchestra, on Saturday, October 21, 2023, 8 pm, at Glendale’s Alex Theatre, and Sunday, October 22, 2023, 7 pm, at UCLA’s Royce Hall. The Chinese-born composer filters musical traditions through her experimental lens, inspired by her recent collaborations with local performers and musicians in Tibet and Yunnan province. Wei says of Invisible Portals, “The work involves musical elements such as throat singing, traditional ethnic dance music, contemporary resonance, and the propulsive rhythms of pop music. I want to create a multicultural and multidimensional conversation that goes beyond time and space, which ultimately takes me to the sanctuary I carry inside.”
