Experience the extraordinary as ROCO’s milestone 20th season opens with “REMARKABLE” – featuring the full 40-piece chamber orchestra in three world premieres plus a new twist on an out-of-this-world classic, presented at Miller Outdoor Theatre on September 27th, hosted by guest emcee Fred Child of American Public Media’s Performance Today.
Under the dynamic direction of Artistic Partner Mei-Ann Chen, the concert will feature the ROCO-commissioned world premiere of John Wineglass‘s Cityscapes in a version for chamber orchestra, enhanced with immersive, panoramic video of Houston by BEND Productions. Then, we’ll head to the stars with the world premiere ROCO commission Constellations by Viet Cuong, ROCO’s Season 20 Composer in Residence, spotlighting “constellations” of ROCO musicians as soloists in each movement. Gustav Holst‘s vivid tour of our solar system, The Planets, completes the galactic journey – featured in a new rescoring by Jim Stephenson, with stunning original animation by James Templeton.
