National Philharmonic World Premier of Prufrock!

September 1, 2021

The long-awaited world premier of Henry Dehlinger’s setting of T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is finally here! Written expressly for the voice of soprano, Danielle Talamantes, Prufrock embodies a modern musical language that makes use of eclecticism while also suggesting the familiar symphonic American vernacular of 20th century composers like Howard Hanson, Samuel Barber, and Leonard Bernstein.

The evening also features world-renowned violinist, Gil Shaham.

Program:
Charles Ives, Variations on “America”
Henry Dehlinger, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (World Premiere)
