At its center is Shift , a virtuosic trombone concerto by Composer in Residence Jimmy López . Performed by Jörgen van Rijen and co commissioned by the San Diego, Rotterdam, and San Francisco symphonies, the four movement work explores the elements – Sound , Water , Light and Sonoluminescence , where vibrating sound waves create bubbles that glow with light.
