ROCO In Concert: Tying Up Loose Ends
ROCO’s 17th season Albert & Margaret Alkek Foundation In Concert Series closed on April 23 with “Tying Up Loose Ends”, live at The Church of St. John the Divine.
Conducted by Rei Hotoda in her ROCO debut, the program centered around the world premiere of “Plumes” for large chamber orchestra by Composer-In-Residence Derek Bermel based on J. Henry Fair’s photography collection “Industrial Scars”—capturing the beauty and destruction of industrial and human impacts on our planet—and also included Viet Cuong’s percussion concerto Re(new)al, and a new work by Cynthia Lee Wong, “In a Blink of an Eye”, commissioned as part of ROCO’s FIFteen Project.
