ROCO welcomes back conductor JoAnn Falletta, as the full 40-piece chamber orchestra shines in works of luminous orchestral color and creativity, including three premieres! Glimpse a vision of paradise in the third and final movement of Richard Danielpour’s Symphony in Three Movements After the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, experience the bold sounds of Conni Ellisor’s consortium-commissioned A Woman Without Apology, and dance to Astor Piazzolla’s Tangazo—an edgy tango, then delight in the Texas premiere of Richard Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos Symphony-Suite, a chamber arrangement of his comic 1912 “opera-within-an-opera”.
