Joan Tower: Tambor
John Williams: Escapades for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra
Sergei Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 2

Branford Marsalis, of the Marsalis jazz family dynasty, takes a solo turn in master-of-melodies John Williams’ saxophone concerto—largely based on his score from the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can. Guest conductor Rune Bergmann begins with Tambor, a work the orchestra has recorded with Joan Tower, and culminates with Rachmaninoff’s sweepingly romantic Second Symphony.
