The Pasadena Community Orchestra hosts this concerto as part of their partnership with the Alliance of Black Orchestral Percussionists (ABOP). ABOP is a nonprofit providing professional development to young and emerging Black percussionists seeking a career in symphonic percussion. Through comprehensive training and mentorship, ABOP prepares Black percussionists for the concert stage, thereby helping to change the future face of symphonic orchestras nationwide.
The program opens with the famous Adagietto from Gustav Mahler’s 5th Symphony, followed by the Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra by Canadian contemporary classical composer Allan Gordon Bell. Then, hear a work by the early 20th century American composer Amy Beach and a symphony by Josef Haydn.
