Work introduction
Roller Coaster is an overture-sized tour de force for large orchestra depicting the ups and downs of life as characterized by a wild amusement park ride. First premiered by the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music virtuoso Orchestra under conductor Marin Alsop, Roller Coaster utilizes many of the sounds of a modern symphony pulverizing the audience with a magnum opus sure to excite and thill audiences, a perfect opening work.
