ROCO Continues Season with MIND GAMES Image

ROCO's Season 14, entitled "Games People Play," will continue on October 6 with Mind Games, the first performance of their more intimate Unchambered series. This concert will include ROCO's second premiere for 2018-19 with Richard Lavenda's Pathfinder, a piece which invites the audience to participate in determining its outcome. The evening will feature ROCO's principal trumpet, Joe Foley, and principal percussionist, Matt McClung, joined by pianist, Bonnie Anderson.

Pathfinder is a somewhat improvisational piece written for trumpet/flugelhorn and percussion. Composer Richard Lavenda took ROCO's game-themed season to heart, inviting him to compose a choose-your-own-adventure style work in which the musicians will respond in real time to the audience's choices, voting via smartphones on which direction they want the piece to move.

Along with Pathfinder, the evening will also feature works by Higdon, Telemann, Albinoni, Thome, Ewazen, Peaslee, and another world premiere, Michael DeQuattro's Parallax.

ROCO's Unchambered series allows individual musicians from the orchestra to uniquely curate their own chamber concerts hosted by the Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston.
