Our guest is the highly regarded American conductor and music director, David Robertson. He'll be holding the baton at the BOK Center this weekend, as the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra joins forces with Wynton Marsalis, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and a festival choir to perform All Rise (Symphony No. 1), an epic blues suite composed by Marsalis that will take place Sunday, June 6th, at 3pm. This very special concert -- offering a massive and stirring work on the theme of spiritual transcendence -- is being presented on the somber occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. For more on this concert, including how to get tickets, please visit the TSO website.
