For this evening's performance by Central Park's Naumburg Orchestra, international composer arrange classical compositions for orchestra and saxophone. The show features 26-year-old concert saxophonist Ashu, whose arrangements of Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla's Two Tangos: Tanti Anni Prima & Liber Tango show off the instrument's depth and range, as well as the performer's jazz-influenced style. Ashu's interpretations of Demersseman flute piece Fantaisie sur un thème original and Béla Bartók's Rumanian Folk Dances are highlights as well. The youthful Max Eshkenazy conducts the program rain or shine.
