Adams’ sun-dappled concerto comes home

The opening of L.A.’s Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2003 was a weekend-long cornucopia of old and new music devoted to showing off the splendors of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s new home.

In the intervening years, Tracy Silverman — the concerto’s original soloist and muse — has helped establish the piece in the concert repertoire, and this weekend he performs it with Michael Morgan and the Oakland Symphony.

The rest of the program, which closes the orchestra’s season, features a musically diverse lineup that includes Stravinsky’s “Symphony of Psalms” with the Oakland Symphony Chorus, and Barber’s winning Knoxville:
