Yes. Predictable? Not even close. Conductor Kevin John Edusei takes the podium for a program that zigzags through the 20th century. It starts in the offbeat world of Igor Stravinsky’s Petrushka. Then Frank Zappa’s The Yellow Shark selections bring electric energy. Pianist Makoto Ozone performs George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, where jazz meets the concert hall in one of the most iconic American sounds ever written.
