This three-movement work was premiered by the Roanoke Symphony in 2011, played at the Kennedy Center with the Boulder Philharmonic in 2017, and this past summer with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood.

Additional repertoire includes Downey Overture by Oscar Navarro, Sketches on a Tudor Psalm by Fisher Tull, conducted by guest conductor Polly Middleton, and Four Scottish Dances by Malcolm Arnold. The Virginia Tech Symphony Band will open the concert.
