The Metamorphose String Orchestra, a distinguished ensemble known for its dynamic and deeply expressive performances, has garnered acclaim for its adventurous programming and commitment to showcasing a diverse range of composers. With a repertoire that spans classical masterpieces and contemporary works, the orchestra has a particular affinity for the compositions of Astor Piazzolla, as evidenced by their recent releases such as "Ave Maria," "Adiós Nonino," and the "Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas," all of which are arranged by various artists such as Jose Bragato and Leonid Desyatnikov. These pieces, characterized by their intricate melodies and complex rhythms, highlight the ensemble's versatility and technical prowess.

Beyond Piazzolla, the Metamorphose String Orchestra demonstrates its breadth by delving into works by Claude Debussy and César Franck, as well as exploring contemporary compositions like Alfred Schnittke’s "Story of an Unknown Actor, Op. 125: I. Those Free Butterflies" and performing thematic pieces such as the "Invasion (Main Theme)." This eclectic mix not only showcases their adaptability but also their dedication to bringing lesser-heard music to the forefront. Through their performances, the Metamorphose String Orchestra continues to captivate audiences worldwide, earning them a respected place in the landscape of modern classical music.
