On February 25, The Youth Symphonic Orchestra of Russia, led by Yuri Bashmet, will perform the world premiere of Alvin Singleton’s Across Differences at the Zimnij Theatre in Sochi. The 11th Anniversary Winter International Arts Festival will take place from February 16-25,
in Sochi, Russia. Winter International Arts Festival Sochi is a member
of the European Festivals Association (EFA) and occupies an important
place in the cultural life of Europe. In 2017, after being named one of
Europe’s premier music festivals, WIAFS became the first Russian
festival included in the “Silk Road,” an international league of
theaters devoted to promoting cultural heritage between member states.
Alvin Singleton notes:
"The title of this piece, Across Differences, identifies the work as all titles do, but it doesn't tell us what it is. In some ways, it can refer to the differences between cultures, but it also refers to my thought process. I fell in love with the musical material [in Across Differences] as I was composing, and I took chances in how I used that material throughout the piece."
