Penned by "One of the most imaginative young composers" on the scene (The New Yorker), David T. Little's Haunted Topography was inspired by the story of a woman whose son was killed in the Vietnam War. Scottish composer James MacMillan tapped percussion virtuoso Colin Currie for his Percussion Concerto No. 2. Co-commissioned by the Cabrillo Festival, and receiving its U.S. premiere, the work focuses on metal percussion. Tonight's program includes the West Coast Premiere of Bates' Anthology of Fantastic Zoology, a surreal symphonic suite that brings to life the strange and wonderful creatures from the book by magical realist Jorge Luis Borges. A talk by Marin Alsop precede the concert.
