Description:

John Wilson's R. R. Bennett Starts! Symphony No. 3" & "Marimba Concerto"! John Wilson is a conductor, arranger, and specialist in light music and American music. Following Copland's orchestral works, the new program will be a collection of orchestral works by Richard Rodney Bennett (1936-2012), a great British composer with a diverse talent for jazz, film music, dance music, and TV music. John Wilson's skill brings to life the brilliant melodies and vibrancy of R. R. Bennett, who was greatly influenced by both the American Songbook and his mentor, Pierre Boulez. Also look out for the "Marimba Concerto" with the world's greatest and most daring percussionist, Colin Currie, as soloist! Tokyo M-Plus
