Description:
This elaborately orchestrated and challenging concerto was composed specifically for Chicago Symphony Orchestra tubist Gene Pokorny in 2016. Lalo Schifrin notes that this exhilarating piece uses a musical language that oscillates between baroque, 20th century music and American jazz. Highlighting that the massive brass instrument can be beautiful and melodic too, the work also makes good use of an elaborate percussion section, celesta, harp, and harpsichord. The work premiered on March 3rd, 2018 by Gene Pokorny with the Redlands Symphony Orchestra under Ransom Wilson.
