    Mulberry Street Symphony (composed 2016-2017) is a work in seven
    movements, each one based on one of the famous photos by Jacob Riis depicting
    the life among immigrants in New York in the 1880s. The symphony was
    performed twice with great success in October 2017 with Aalborg Symphony
    Orchestra, subsequently with Odense Symphony Orchestra - both performances
    conducted by Martin Yates and fronted by the three world-class jazzmusicians:
    Benjamin Koppel (saxophone), Scott Colley (bass) and Brian Blade (drums). The
    project was recorded and is now being finished for CD-release.
    Riis - himself an immigrant from Denmark - was overwhelmed by the hard and
    desolate life among the thousands of immigrants like himself, who had hoped for
    a better life in the promised land. The work is a eulogy to the life and dreams of
    these people.
