Boston Modern Orchestra Project will open its 2018-19 season at Jordan Hall on October 19 with recent works by American composers Steven Mackey, Hannah Lash, and Harold Meltzer, led by Artistic Director Gil Rose. The concert will feature two concertos: the U.S. premiere of Steven Mackey’s 2005 Time Release with solo percussionist Colin Currie, and Hannah Lash performing the Boston premiere of her own Concerto No. 2 for Harp and Orchestra (2016). Also on the program are Mackey’s Tonic (2011) and Harold Meltzer’s Vision Machine (2016), the latter inspired by a skyscraper on Eleventh Avenue in Manhattan designed by architect Jean Nouvel that features hundreds of panes of glass positioned in different ways. BMOP previously performed Meltzer’s piano concerto, Privacy, with soloist Ursula Oppens in 2010, and his double bassoon concerto, Full Faith and Credit, with soloists Ronald Haroutunian and Adrian Morejon, in 2011.
