Grammy and Academy Award-winning composer and conductor Tan Dun makes his fourth appearance with TŌN. The program comprises Debussy’s dreamy Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Ravel’s second suite of music from his pastoral ballet Daphnis and Chloé, as well as two works by the conductor: the world premiere of his expressive 2014 piece Ten Thousand Galloping Horses and the Concerto for 12 Cellos and Orchestra, which the composer has called “a soulful search of cultural harmonies.”
