Guest Artist:
Jeremy Denk, piano

The Festivalโ€™s focus on todayโ€™s music continues as world-renowned conductor and Festival composer-in-residence/co-curator John Adams takes the podium to lead his off-beat and grooving Must the Devil Have All the Good Tunes? with the extraordinary Jeremy Denk at the piano โ€” listen for a second โ€œdetuned honky-tonk pianoโ€ to add its voice. Music Director Peter Oundjian conducts the final symphony by Christopher Rouse, which The New York Times called Rouseโ€™s Sixth โ€œa haunting and profound farewellโ€ true to the composerโ€™s character: โ€œall of Mr. Rouse โ€” contemplative elegy, rowdy playfulness, eclectic homage โ€” is in this score.โ€ In her Tumblebird Contrails, composer Gabriella Smith calls to mind the Pacific Ocean and โ€œkeening gulls, pounding surf, rush of approaching waves, sizzle of sand, and sea foam in receding tide.โ€
