Shades of Light by Debussy, Chin, Boulanger, Ó (2023/2023), Seoltóir Alan Gilbert

Light, shade, and color play an integral role in this luminously French program of Lili Boulanger (D'un matin de printemps), Claude Debussy (La mer), and Korean composer Unsuk Chin’s Rocaná (Room of Light). Conductor Alan Gilbert, whose association with the Orchestra goes back to his days as assistant conductor under Christoph von Dohnányi, discusses the music, his relationship with the orchestra, and the sacred nature of the score.
