Copland's In the Beginning, an a cappella setting of 38 verses from the Book of Genesis, is packed with subtle musical devices that depict the events in the creation story. Joaquín Rodrigo's most famous work, the Concierto de Aranjuez, is brought to life by guitarist Michael Partington, who has been praised for his performances throughout the United States and his native Great Britain. Brian Chin, principal trumpet of the Tacoma Symphony unveils a new concerto written for him by Seattle composer Robert Kechley, and the season concludes with one of Mozart's most beloved symphonies.
