ASU Symphony Orchestra: Graffiti!

In collaboration with the reboot of ASU’s SolPower hip hop festival, the ASU Symphony premieres Carlos Simon’s Graffiti performed with art created in real time by internationally renowned graffiti artists. A new work by ASU composer Garth Paine begins the concert and includes sounds amplified by the audience’s own cell phones as part of the orchestral landscape. The concert also features pianist John Solari, Winner of the 2020 ASU Concerto Competition, performing Ravel’s American jazz club-inspired Piano Concerto for the Left Hand and concludes with Arturo Márquez’s exuberant Danzón No. 2.
