River Oaks Chamber Orchestra (ROCO) opens its 22nd season with Eyes On The Horizon, an exploration of how we perceive the world—and how music can reshape that perception.

The program begins with Jonathan Peters‘ Sonus Colorum, an orchestral celebration of color in sound, before moving into two multimedia world premieres that explore the connections between sight, sound, and perspective. Leanna Primiani’s VISIONS, a concerto for orchestra, explores the lenses through which we see the world and how perception shapes our understanding of ourselves and those around us. Composer and saxophonist Alison Shearer features in her own new work, The Light Paintings, inspired by abstract artwork created by her late father, acclaimed LIFE photojournalist John Shearer. The evening concludes with The Godfather trilogy composer Nino Rota‘s rarely performed Symphony No. 3 in C Major.

We'll gather on the chair side of the hill (left side when facing the stage). Bring a blanket or a chair for comfort. You're welcome to bring your own food and drinks (no glass containers). Concert will begin at 7:30 pm.

This is a free event. No tickets required to sit on the hill.
