Francesco Lecce-Chong, conductor
*Eriko Daimo, marimba

Debussy: Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn)
*Pius Cheung: Hibiki (Colors of Resonance) (World Premiere—Eugene Symphony Commission)

Lutosławski: Concerto for Orchestra

We luxuriate in endless shades of sound in a program that centers around the world premiere of internationally renowned and Eugene-based composer Pius Cheung’s Hibiki (Colors of Resonance), performed by marimba virtuoso Eriko Daimo. The textures and timbres of the orchestra are on full display as they perform Hildur Guðnadóttir’s meditative People Get Faces and Claude Debussy’s fantastical and poetic Prélude, before each section of the orchestra is celebrated in Witold Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra.
