Providence, RI; 27 February 2010. At Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium, Music Director Larry Rachleff confidently led the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra in an ambitious, yet accessible program fittingly entitled ‘Captivating Colors’. The musical fare for the evening was the tone poem, a genre wherein composers, virtual aural artists, strive to paint a dramatic scene or evoke a specific scenario or emotion. The musical offerings also created a kind of meal of their own, one with fresh and original combinations of taste and texture.
