Tulsa, OK – Tomorrow night, Saturday the 4th, the Tulsa Symphony will present the next concert in its current season. The program is called "The American West" --- and it features three classic if not archetypal works of Americana: "Symphony No. 3" by Roy Harris, the "Suite from Billy the Kid" by Aaron Copland, and the "Grand Canyon Suite" by Ferde Grofe. The concert takes place at the Tulsa PAC and begins at 7:30pm. Our guest on ST today is Timothy Muffitt, who will serve as the Guest Conductor for this concert. Now in his 12th season as Music Director and Conductor of the Baton Rouge Symphony and his 5th season with the Lansing Symphony, Muffitt continues to appear with other prominent orchestras around the country --- including recent engagements with the San Francisco Symphony, the Long Beach Symphony, the Buffalo Philharmonic, and the Virginia Symphony. As Muffitt tells us, tomorrow night's rendition of Copland's "Billy the Kid" masterpiece will be further enhanced by its accompanying Westwater Symphonic Photochoreography, which will be projected on to a big screen above the orchestra.
