Gil Rose and the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) Premiere Han Lash's Zero Turning Radius at Jordan Hall

Apr. 27, 2025

On May 4, Gil Rose will lead the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) in the world premiere performance of Han Lash's concerto for orchestra, Zero Turning Radius at NEC's Jordan Hall. The composer notes:

“Zero Turning Radius began with a question (“How can the orchestra continue to be relevant?”); a challenge (“I must now do my utmost to remove a delimiting frame”); and a prayer sent out to the future that the orchestra – such a beautiful, multi-limbed, amphibious creature – can be a playground in contexts and for musics that remain yet unimagined and can be created in any number of different ways. Zero Turning Radius is about the joy of steering a powerful, enormous, and fleet entity like an orchestra: shifting and dancing, turning on a dime. The idea for the piece was inspired while using a zero turning radius mower.”
