The Symphony Orchestra returns with Ravel's infamous Shéhérazade – but with a twist – a rare performance with tenor soloist Timothy Langston. The orchestra also performs works by little-known English composer Butterworth and the world première of Jae Hong Lee’s Concerto for Orchestra. We close with the whirling and nightmarish Infernal Dance from Stravinsky's Firebird, a tour de force of orchestral brilliance!
