Boulder Philharmonic: Vignettes and Promenades

"Pianist and composer Aldo López-Gavilán joins forces with Ricardo Morales, principal clarinetist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, to premiere his much anticipated Clarinet Concerto with the Boulder Phil. In this stunning return to the Macky stage, Aldo delivers an encore performance of his piano concerto, Emporium, an audience-favorite that sparkles with the vivid images and rhythms of his Afro-Cuban heritage. We end this vibrant celebration with a promenade through music’s most famous art gallery, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Originally composed as a suite of ten vignettes for piano, Pictures has been the muse of numerous composers, having been arranged for orchestra, concert band, and jazz ensemble in more than forty instances. The Boulder Phil will be performing Maurice Ravel’s exquisite orchestration, in which he wields the full palette of the Philharmonic with sublime brushstrokes of symphonic timbre."
