Friday, November 18, at The Woodlands United Methodist Church, and Saturday, November 19, at The Church of St. John the Divine, ROCO presents “Space: The Final Playground.” The program features the Texas premiere of a new ROCO commission – Michael Gilbertson’s Cosmos, a piece for wind quintet and orchestra in which each movement is inspired by an element of the cosmos. During the work, soloists from WindSync — a theatrical, Houston based wind quintet — will move throughout the performance space. David Danzmayr conducts and Scott St. John returns as concertmaster for the program, which also includes Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 6, Czech composer Vilém Tauský’s Coventry, and Elegía Andina by Gabriela Lena Frank.
