About
K, a multicultural orchestra under the direction of the Italian-Brazilian conductor Simone Menezes, is bringing out its first album. Born out of the awareness that classical music was exported throughout the world and took on multiple influences in the last century, K’s project seeks to find the original accents of the works it performs. Their goal: to tell each story in its original language.

Awards and reviews
April 2021
Copland’s original chamber scoring of Appalachian Spring is the highlight here – rarely has the enchanting penultimate section, a set of variations on the Shaker melody ‘Simple Gifts’, sounded so ingenuously beguiling.
January 2021
This invigorating debut album from Menezes's France-based collective could be just the pick-me-up you need in the depths of this particularly bleak mid-winter: effective, lean chamber arrangements bring out the folkish colours of Borodin's Polovtsian Dances and in particular Copland's Appalachian Spring, which truly sounds like country music here. And everything really dances.
