In a program inspired by daring creativity and artistic innovation, conductor Michelle Merrill makes her ROCO debut, leading the orchestra in Techtonal, a ROCO world premiere commission by Anthony DiLorenzo based on the thought-provoking book The Telling Image by Lois Stark, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Miller Outdoor Theatre. Also receiving its world premiere will be a ROCO-commissioned orchestral work by Juno award-winner Vivian Fung, Parade. Louise Farrenc’s fiery Symphony No. 1 also features, and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Overture to the Creatures of Prometheus appropriately rounds out our 18th Season as we’re joined by Houston’s musical future: the Houston Youth Symphony!
