Gershwin’s Cuban Overture, a lively and rhythmically-charged celebration of Latin American influences, is filled with the composer’s signature flair. Mark Simeon Ferguson’s Live and Die With the Butterflies is an evocative work combining lyrical beauty with cinematic intensity. Ravel’s Bolero, a masterpiece of orchestral color and hypnotic rhythm, is performed here in its original form followed by a reimagined version featuring improvisations that breathe new energy and creativity into its iconic theme.
