The Old Style

Respighi’s imaginative orchestrations of lute music and Bloch’s challenge to his skeptical students bookend a program of works influenced by traditions of an earlier style of music. In between, Jennifer Corning Lucio, Fort Worth Symphony’s principal oboe, performs Vaughn Williams’ pastoral oboe concerto and the baroque concerto grosso form gets a jazz-inflected rethinking by Errolyn Wallen, “the renaissance woman of contemporary British music.”
