Christopher James Lees, conductor. The UPO concludes its semester with a progressively sublime program which moves from Milhaud's satirically colorful ballet, through a detailed reading of a classic work of Tchaikovsky, and enters Olivier Messaien's transcendent symphonic picture, originally conceived and written as a work for organ. PROGRAM: Milhaud Le Boeuf sur le Toit; Tchaikovsky - Suite from The Nutcracker; Messaien - L'Ascension
