DPO co-commissions new work

By Terry Morris | Thursday, November 17, 2011, 04:04 PM

The Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra will put its instruments where its money is Friday and Saturday, Nov. 18 and 19, when it performs the new William Bolcom composition “Prometheus” at the Schuster Center, Second and Main streets in Dayton.

The orchestra co-commissioned the work along with others including the Pacific Symphony, Calgary Philharmonic, Detroit Symphony, Knoxville Symphony and New Mexico Symphony.

The Schuster concerts will include guest pianist Jeffery Biegel and the DPO Chorus. Music director Neal Gittleman will conduct.

The “Promethean Exploits” program will include three other works that touch on the theme: Beethoven’s “Prometheus Overture,” Liszt’s “Prometheus Symphonic Poem” and Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 8.”

The orchestra’s performance of the Bolcom work and a new piece it programmed last season, Michael Daugherty’s electric guitar concerto “Gee’s Bend,” will be broadcast at 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20, on the new program “Instant Rewind” on WDPR-FM (Classical 88.1).

TIckets to the Nov. 18 and 19 concert are $9 to $59 at (888) 228-3630 or www.daytonphilharmonic.com.
