About This Concert
Join us for a showcase led by ROCO Artistic Partner and conductor Mei-Ann Chen. Comprising several of ROCO’s previously commissioned world premieres and passion project works alongside works by Errolyn Wallen, Gabriela Lena Frank, and the premiere of a work by one of the finalists of ROCO and American Composers Orchestra’s EarShot Call for Scores by early career female composers, this concert highlights ROCO’s commitment to women composers and expanding the classical canon.
