Kalena Bovell conducts a program of orchestral grandeur. Respighi’s Pines of Rome, last performed by HSO in 2013, brings the Italian landscape to life with sweeping brass fanfares, atmospheric sounds, and lush harmonies.

Gabriela Lena Frank’s Apu draws from Andean culture, blending folk influences with modern textures, while Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3 showcases sparkling elegance and unexpected warmth, featuring Ukranian violinist and UCONN professor, Solomiya Ivakhiv.

From Respighi’s breathtaking vistas to Frank’s rich soundscapes and Mozart’s lyrical charm, Pines of Rome offers a dynamic concert experience of breadth and depth.
