Written for the Malcolm Street Orchestra, Anna Semple鈥檚 The Gates plays with the ideas of recall and memory, specifically the musical illustration of an image of a set of gates seen up close, then reimagined from afar but not remembered exactly. Julia Wolfe鈥檚 Pretty is inspired by the distortions and reverberations of rock and roll and is a raucous celebration of the connotations of what being 鈥減retty鈥� means; and we delve into the world premiere of Salina Fisher鈥檚 Violin Concerto performed by the sublime Geneva Lewis. But first we turn to the series鈥� namesake, Grace Williams and her Ballads for Orchestra.
