Conductor Giancarlo Guerrero brings out all the technicolor glory of Ottorino Respighi’s vivid Roman postcards: Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome. Stravinsky’s ballet Petrushka is equally dramatic, placing us amid the hurly-burly of a Russian carnival where a trio of magical puppets comes to life. Kicking off the concert is Kaija Saariaho’s astronomical Asteroid 4179: Toutatis.
