In preparation for its second visit to the United States in two years, the NSO presents a pre-tour concert with some of the repertory it will take across the Pacific. Music from three continents will be on the program. As it always does on tour, the NSO includes something by one of Taiwan's own composers, in this case Gordon Chin's 'Dancing Song'. Music from the country the NSO will visit is represented by Samuel Barber's intensely lyrical Violin Concerto with 24-year-old Taiwanese violinist Yu-Chien Tseng as soloist. Two pillars of the French repertory round out the program - Debussy's stirring evocation of the sea (La Mer) and the Second Suite from Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe, a veritable textbook of orchestral wizardry.
