Conductor JoAnn Falletta, music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Virginia Symphony, returns to lead The Orchestra Now for the third year in a row. The concert features Holst’s popular suite The Planets, which is in turn both devastating and peaceful. Also on the program is Adams’ joyfully exuberant Short Ride in a Fast Machine and Pendercki’s dramatic and intense Double Concerto, which will feature Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra concertmaster Dennis Kim and principal cellist Roman Mekinulov.
