ROCO In Concert Series: Space: The Final Playground (at St John the Divine)

ROCO continues its 2016–2017 In Concert Series. 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 another ROCO commission and the Texas premiere of Michael Gilbertson’s Cosmos, a piece in five short movements, each of which is inspired by an element of the cosmos.

During the concert, soloists from WindSync — a theatrical, Houston­ based wind quintet — will move throughout the performance space while playing.

David Danzmayr (pictured) conducts and Scott St. John returns as concertmaster for the program, which also includes Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 6, Czech composer Vilem Tausky’s Coventry, and Elegia Andina by Gabriela Lena Frank.
