Led by Chelsea Gallo, the orchestra stacks one iconic sound on top of another, from the city energy of A Salute to the Big Apple to the cinematic sweep of Hans Zimmer’s music from Gladiator. Then it all builds to the towering grandeur of Modest Mussorgsky’s “The Great Gate of Kiev,” alongside highlights from Pictures at an Exhibition — music that feels larger than life. Plus, TFO violinist Eugeniu Cheremoush steps into the spotlight for Franz Schubert’s Rondo in A Major, bringing a lighter, elegant contrast with plenty of charm and sparkle. It’s a morning of monumental sound that fills the hall and then some.
