Voices of a Generation Gen X Festival at Walt Disney Concert Hall

Thomas Ads exemplifies a generation of composers who drew upon the long history of symphonic music but rethought those traditional forms with a post-modern eye and sometimes ironic distancing. Ads both curates and conducts an evening featuring an international selection of Gen X composers, and violinist Pekka Kuusisto shines in music by Francisco Coll and the U.S. premiere of Ads Marchentanze.Post-Concert PerformanceAs a post-concert bonus on the Walt Disney Concert Hall stage, Thomas Ads turns from conductor to pianist with Pekka Kuusisto for two duets, Stravinskys Duo concertante and Ravels Sonata for Violin and Piano.
