A 30th Anniversary Season of marvelous journeys—A Symphonic Odyssey—begins! Tchaikovsky’s stunning Fourth Symphony features all the trademarks of great Tchaikovsky—brilliant score, emotional melodies and recognizable folk songs. Resonating Lands, a world premiere written for multi-instrumentalist Hong Wang by Guggenheim Fellow Kui Dong, celebrates the Lunar New Year. Ligeti’s rustic, folk-infused Concert Românesc dances through the countryside, while music from Apollo 13 and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial reflects the enormity of outer space. Buckle up for an inspiring journey with your New West Symphony!
