The extraordinary was experienced in ROCO’s milestone 20th season-opening concert “REMARKABLE” - featuring the full 40-piece chamber orchestra live from The Church of St. John the Divine, on September 28th, 2024.
Gustav Holst‘s vivid tour of our solar system, The Planets, featured in a new rescoring for 40-piece chamber orchestra by Jim Stephenson, with accompanying original animation by James Templeton, all commissioned by ROCO. Thanks to our partner Ion Concert Media, whose revolutionary Muséik software enabled the animation to be synced in real-time to the performance-James Templeton's stunning animation is now also available as part of their presentation library, for use by ensembles worldwide: www.ionconcert...
