ABOUT Trumpets and other brilliant brass instruments shine brightly in a night full of dazzling virtuosity and grandeur! You’ll love the playful imagination of Andrew Norman — perhaps the most celebrated American composer of his generation. Pacho Flores will delight you with the classical elegance of Johann Baptist Georg Neruda’s trumpet concerto, and then the rhythms of Latin jazz meld with symphonic music in a new work by Cuban-American composer Paquito D’Rivera. Finally, the dramatic fanfares of fate take center stage in Piotr Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony.
