Fountains & Pines of Rome
Jader Bignamini conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, October 17, at 8 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. The program pairs a new Michael Abels piece and a rediscovered Kashperova piano concerto with Respighi's Roman tone poems; tickets are on the DSO site.
The program runs from intimate storytelling to full orchestral color. DSO Composer-in-Residence Michael Abels's Emerge finds meaning in a community reunited. Alexandra Dariescu plays Leokadiya Kashperova's cinematic Piano Concerto, a work pulled back from obscurity. Respighi's radiant portraits of Rome bring the whole orchestra to life.
