In its program titled 鈥淓ffects and Dances,鈥 the orchestra will premiere French-Argentinian composer Oscar Strasnoy鈥檚 Kuleshov, a piano concerto. The composition is a lively dialogue between the orchestra and the piano and is inspired by the Kuleshov effect, an editing technique in film named after Lev Kuleshov (1899-1970). The process demonstrates one repeated image (or, in this case, musical motive) taking on different meanings based on the contrasting images (in this case, musical antecedents). 

Kuleshov features pianist Ryan McCullough, who has been a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Toronto Symphony and has appeared at major festivals and concert halls around the world.

Also being performed is Peruvian composer Jimmy L贸pez Bellido鈥檚 Fiesta! Four Pop Dances for Orchestra. The work draws on academic compositional techniques, Latin-American music, Afro-Peruvian music and contemporary pop music. 

The orchestra is directed and conducted by Christian Baldini, professor of music and Barbara K. Jackson Chair in Orchestral Conducting.
