SUMMARY:ROCO In Concert: Fellow Travelers
DESCRIPTION:ROCO (River Oaks Chamber Orchestra) continues its 22nd season with Fellow Travelers\, exploring companionship and shared humanity through music. Conductor Rei Hotoda returns to lead the chamber orchestra’s debut at Houston’s stunning Ismaili Center\, with back-to-back performances on Saturday\, November 14\, at 5:00 p.m.\, and Sunday\, Nov. 15\, at 2:00 p.m. \nThe program opens with Arvo Pärt’s Fratres\, followed by Marcus Karl Maroney’s Concerto for Chamber Orchestra. Composer-In-Residence Jessica Meyer unveils a new ROCO-commissioned work before the concert concludes with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major. \nComposer-In-Residence Jessica Meyer presents the world premiere of a new ROCO commission inspired by the idea of inner and outer resonance. In her first commission of the season\, Meyer explores how our environments shape the ways we listen\, respond\, and connect with one another. \nArvo Pärt’s Fratres is one of the Estonian composer’s most beloved works. Built on a simple\, repeating harmonic pattern that unfolds through a series of variations\, the meditative piece creates an atmosphere of reflection and quiet contemplation.  \nOriginally commissioned and premiered by ROCO in 2016\, Marcus Karl Maroney’s Concerto for Chamber Orchestra returns to the orchestra’s repertoire\, showcasing the ensemble’s virtuosity as musical ideas pass between sections in a spirited dialogue. \nThe program concludes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major\, a vibrantly optimistic work despite the onset of the composer’s deafness at the time. \nClaim your ticket today at https://roco.org/performances/fellow-travelers/ \nCome join for a magical evening! \n
