Catherine M. Urner Composer Discovery Project
Dr. Doug Davis, Winner

The concert begins with the debut of The Catherine M. Urner Composer Discovery Project, featuring the winning composition by Bakersfield’s Dr. Doug Davis: Dust Swirls, then Speaks (Journey to Hope) – you don’t want to miss this celebration of our own homegrown talent! World-renowned guest pianist Roman Rabinovich will then join the orchestra for what is sure to be a memorable performance of Prokofiev’s thrilling Piano Concerto No. 3. Maestro Kirov and the orchestra will close the concert by taking the audience on an epic journey through Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, an incredible musical retelling of the stories and drama found in the classic One Thousand and One Nights.
