Our Inna Faliks will join the Asheville Symphony, conducted by Darko Butorac, for the United States premiere of Gabriel Prokofiev's Concerto for Minimoog Synthesizer and Orchestra.

The performance takes place one year after the concerto's world premiere at Casa da Música in Porto, Portugal, marking another significant step in the international development of this work.

Co-commissioned by the Asheville Symphony, Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Música and Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini, the concerto places the iconic monophonic Minimoog synthesizer in the role of a traditional orchestral soloist.

Drawing on influences from acid house and contemporary electronic music, Prokofiev explores the relationship between electronic sound and symphonic writing, combining the instrument's distinctive sonic character with the expressive possibilities of the orchestra.

The programme, entitled Masterworks 3: Double Take, also features Dmitri Kabalevsky's Overture from Colas Breugnon and selections from Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, establishing a connection between the musical worlds of Gabriel Prokofiev and his grandfather.

Presented in collaboration with the Bob Moog Foundation and the Moogseum, the event will also include a Minimoog Playground, offering audiences the opportunity to explore the instrument.

Program:
- D. Kabalevsky, Overture from Colas Breugnon
- G. Prokofiev, Concerto for Minimoog Synthesizer and Orchestra (US Premiere)
- S. Prokofiev, Romeo and Juliet Suite
