Known primarily for his writings for Wind Ensemble, contemporary American composer Frank Ticheli describes his orchestral fantasy Radiant Voices as “raucous, free-wheeling, and [wholly] American.” Composed shortly after the Los Angeles riots of 1992, this poignant tone poem explores the wide range of emotions spurred by such tragic events in our society. Antonín Dvořák’s monumental Concerto in B minor for Violoncello and Orchestra, performed by internationally acclaimed soloist Leland Ko, anchors the second half of this powerful program.
