Alan Hovhaness - Shambala World Premiere Internet Broadcast January 30th

   http://hovhaness.com/News_Shambala.html

Almost 40 years after it was written, the Hovhaness concerto Shambala,
for violin, sitar and orchestra, originally composed for Yehudi Menuhin
and Ravi Shankar, receives its world-premiere broadcast on January 30th
2008, during the 9am hour (US Eastern Time) on the WPRB radio show
Classical Discoveries.

Shambala (1969) has never been performed at any concert, so this is its
first public airing of any kind.  The broadcast marks the February 14th
release of the OgreOgress DualDisc comprising three Hovhaness works,
each featuring violinist/violist Christina Fong.  Both Shambala and
Janabar (1950) appear in world-premiere recordings, whilst the concerto
Talin (1951) was last recorded in its original viola & strings format
as far back as 1957.
