ROCO’s 17th season closes on April 23 with “Tying Up Loose Ends” at The Church of St. John the Divine and also livestreamed at ROCO.org, Facebook, and YouTube.
Conducted by Rei Hotoda in her ROCO debut, the program centers around the world premiere of a work 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 will also include Viet Cuong’s percussion concerto Re(new)al, Darius Milhaud’s jazz-inspired 1923 work Creation of the World, and new works by Cynthia Lee Wong and Judah Adashi, concluding ROCO’s FIFteen Project.
