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 The Church of St. John the Divine on September 28th, hosted by guest emcee Fred Child of American Public Media’s Performance Today.
Under the dynamic direction of Artistic Partner Mei-Ann Chen, 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. Mark Buller‘s powerful ROCO commission John the Revelator pays tribute to ROCO’s home venue of The Church of St. John the Divine, and Gustav Holst‘s vivid tour of our solar system, The Planets, features in a new rescoring by Jim Stephenson, with stunning original animation by James Templeton.
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Wish, with a suggested ticket price of $35.
