Details

The ISO flexes its musical muscles with three show-stopping concertos, plus a world premiere of a new piece written by Daixuan Ai.

Beach Adventure> is a short concerto for orchestra written by Daixuan Ai. It is based on a story written by 7-year-old cancer survivor McKenzie, with help from her siblings Xavier, CJ, and Imani in partnership with the Sing Me A Story Foundation.

Paul Huang joins us for Barber’s gorgeous Violin Concerto, and composer Gabriela Lena Frank takes us to her hometown in the Peruvian Mountains in a “little concerto” for orchestra. Music Director Jun Märkl leads the ISO in Bartók’s virtuosic Concerto for Orchestra, a piece that challenges every member of the ensemble!
