ROCO's 19th season continued November 11th with INFRARED, spotlighting the full chamber orchestra in a program featuring more than the eye can see—including two radiant world premieres commissioned by ROCO.

Conductor Johannes Debus made his ROCO debut, leading “Nell ‘Inferno”, the blazing first movement of Season 19 Composer-In-Residence Richard Danielpour’s "Triptych (Symphony in Three Movements After the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri)", and Brazilian-American composer Clarice Assad’s colorful "Ode to Carmen Miranda".

Missy Mazzoli’s "Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres)" goes galactic, comprised of “…music in the shape of a solar system, a collection of rococo loops that twist around each other within a larger orbit”, before Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 1 with its fiery opening brings the listener back to earth, in time for Mozart’s delectable Divertimento, KV 136—a work written simply to entertain.
