Luminescence brings to light six contemporary composers’ works for orchestra. Marvin Schluger’s Manhattan Suite and New York, 2013 by Raymond Bokhour, allude to the Big Apple. Robert Burrell’s Serenade for Strings captures the musicality of Australia’s avian species, while Daniel Burwasser’s Catching Fireflies reflects the innocence and playfulness of childhood pastimes. The Oglala Sioux holy man Nicholas Black Elk is the subject of David Kirtley’s work. Rain Worthington’s Within a Dance evokes the intimacy of a first invitation to dance, and the continuing dance of love.
