The program will consist of contemporary orchestral works by Boston composers. The featured work will be the first performance of Berger's "The Exiles," a cantata written in 1943. Lukas Foss, piano soloist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, will perform his piano concerto.
Tonight's performance also includes compositions by Randall Thompson '20, Alan Hovhaness, and Gardner Read. Besides Foss, soloists are Jean Harper, contralto, and Rudolph Nashan, trumpet.
