ROCO launches its 19th season with the 2023-24 “Making Waves” season, a celebration of innovation, exploration and the impact of artistic creativity and integrity in the community.
ROCO returns this weekend for its 19th season with a big splash. “Making Waves,” the theme for this year, will celebrate innovation, exploration and the impact of artistic creativity and integrity in the community with more than 18 works by female composers and will present multiple world premiere commissions, co-commissions and two rescores.
The highlights of the season are manifold. A ROCO commission by Anthony DiLorenzo for Houston’s Miller Outdoor Theatre’s 100th Anniversary is based on award-winning documentary filmmaker Lois Stark’s acclaimed book, “The Telling Image,” in which Stark takes the reader on a worldwide journey and “unveils a crucial, hidden key to understanding the universe: shape itself.” The work will be accompanied with text-informed AI animation by Cynthia Lee Wong.
Composer-in-Residence Danielpour will also get a chance to shine. He is writing a deeply personal work about the current uprising of women in Iran, dedicated to his mother, an Iranian sculpturist. ROCO also presents two additional world premieres by Danielpour based upon Dante’s “Divine Comedy.” It’s ROCO’s win and Houston’s benefit as Danielpour comes with an arm’s-length list of achievements. Among them, he received two awards from the American Academy and Institute of Arts & Letters, a Guggenheim Award, the Bearns Prize from Columbia University, two Rockefeller Foundation Fellowships and The Berlin Prize from the American Academy in Berlin.
