Scheherazade: Tucson Symphony Orchestra

The Tucson Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Christopher Allen, presents an evening of orchestral works featuring violinist Charles Yang. The program opens with Karen LeFrak's "American Promise," followed by Kris Bowers' "For a Younger Self," and concludes with Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade." This concert offers a blend of contemporary and classical repertoire.

Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade is known for its vivid orchestration and storytelling inspired by the Tales of the Arabian Nights. The inclusion of modern works by LeFrak and Bowers adds a contemporary dimension to the program.
