Decoda couldn’t be more excited for our debut Carnegie concert!  Come celebrate with this festive program of Decoda’s party-mix of serenades, parades, dances and scherzos. You will discover the humorous side of Strauss, the celebratory spirit of Brahms, and the groovy side of Lutoslawski, Connesson and Poulenc. This program also features 2 Decoda commissions: A world premiere by Valerie Coleman and Reveler-Scherzo, by Decoda’s own Brad Balliett with images by Will Storie that evoke a series of musical caricatures and merry pranks. As an audience member you will have the opportunity to compose your very own Reveler Ringtone!
