The NLO also has a long history of working with soloists starting out on exciting careers: in 2020 they collaborated with the young Japanese pianist ARUHI on the premiere recording of Taverner's Palintropos, to great critical acclaim. Their concert at HBCMF, conducted by Artistic Director Joshua Ballance, opens with a new arrangement for string orchestra of chrysalis, by contemporary composer Carol J. Jones. This opens a first half that explores music about the natural world from three composers. After the interval, the orchestra then perform Josef Suk's much-loved Serenade.
