The program begins with Jonathan Peters‘ Sonus Colorum, an orchestral celebration of color in sound, before moving into two multimedia world premieres that explore the connections between sight, sound, and perspective. Leanna Primiani’s VISIONS, a concerto for orchestra, explores the lenses through which we see the world and how perception shapes our understanding of ourselves and those around us. Composer and saxophonist Alison Shearer features in her own new work, The Light Paintings, inspired by abstract artwork created by her late father, acclaimed LIFE photojournalist John Shearer. The evening concludes with The Godfather trilogy composer Nino Rota‘s rarely performed Symphony No. 3 in C Major.
The concert will also be livestreamed free at ROCO.org, Facebook, and YouTube.
