Colorado Symphony: Respighi Pines of Rome

"Traverse the Italian countryside with Respighi’s Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome — the first two entries in his Roman Trilogy — painting a dazzling symphonic portrait of light and land, while masterfully depicting Rome’s iconic scenery. Pianist Joyce Yang returns to Boettcher Concert Hall as featured soloist on Mozart’s dark and tempestuous Piano Concerto No. 24. Led by Venezuelan-born conductor José Luis Gomez, Colorado Symphony begins the program with Gabriela Lena Frank's 'Apu: Tone Poem for Orchestra,' depicting the mischievous Apu — a mountain spirit from Andean Peruvian lore — leaping amongst the region’s rocks, rivers, and mountain peaks in an energetic frolic that bounces around the entire orchestra."
