Prepare To Be Uplifted - As ROCO Goes Supersonic Feb. 24th!

Conductor Delyana Lazarova returns as ROCO's Albert and Margaret Alkek Foundation In Concert Series continues with SUPERSONIC-featuring the full 40-piece chamber orchestra in a high-octane program brimming with dynamic energy! Elfrida Andree’s colorful, lyrical Symphony No. 2 in A Minor, with its exuberant opening theme, paves the way for the U.S. premiere of Composer-In-Residence Richard Danielpour's "Voci dal Purgatorio", a journey to rebirth - the second movement of his Symphony in Three Movements After the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri. Setting the stage, acclaimed actress and author Claudia Christian also joins us for a special reading from Dante's work.
Thrill to Jessica Meyer’s joyous Go Big or Go Home, featuring blues guitar phenom Clay Melton and his band, and then we welcome back the Houston Youth Symphony as special guest, with a side-by-side performance of Franz Schubert's richly textured and emotionally laden Overture in the Italian Style. Rounding out the program is the Fantasy Homage to Schubert, an alluring work by Bulgarian-British composer Dobrinka Tabakova, whose distinct sound world has been called “riveting, piercingly beautiful and frequently radiant”.
