The Houston-based professional ensemble ROCO continues its free, livestreamed In Concert series with "Oceans", a nature-inspired program featuring the orchestra – conductorless! Celebrating Beethoven’s 250th birthday, the concert will feature the U.S. premiere of a new ROCO co-commission by Anna Clyne for strings, Stride. Showcasing the flexibility of ROCO, the program also includes Beethoven’s Quintet for Piano and Winds, Coleridge-Taylor’s Nonet, and Bolcom’s Ghost Rags, then wraps up with Debussy’s paean to the sea, La Mer.
