SUMMARY:Rhythm to Revolution
DESCRIPTION:A program of rhythm\, color\, and contrast\, this electrifying concert pairs the vibrant energy of Gabriela Ortiz’s Antrópolis—featuring Principal Timpanist Curt Armbruster—with the jazz-infused brilliance of Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major\, performed by acclaimed pianist Pascal Rogé.\nThe program culminates in Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5\, a work of gripping intensity that moves from shadowed introspection to a powerful\, unforgettable finale—an extraordinary close to the ASO’s 64th season.
