For the past several years Conlon has made a project of reviving the music of composers whose lives were lost and whose compositions were suppressed during the Holocaust, including Schulhoff, Alexander Zemlinsky and Viktor Ullman. Most recently, Conlon led a number of works by Schulhoff this summer at the Chicago Symphony's Ravinia Festival, where he is music director.
The Aspen Chamber Symphony performs the work in a concert in the Benedict Music Tent; the program also includes Mozart's Symphony No. 33 and the Piano Concerto No. 17 with Lang Lang as soloist.
