We begin with Symphoria composed by our Principal Pops Conductor, Sean O’Loughlin. You’ll love Roberto Sierra’s colorful Fandangos and Duke Ellington’s Three Black Kings. Pianist Awadagin Pratt takes the stage to perform the New York premiere of Jessie Montgomery’s Rounds for Piano and String Orchestra. Kyle Bass joins Symphoria to speak the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln in Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait.
