Background: Michael Daugherty is one of the most performed American composers of concert music of his generation. The London Times has described him as 'a master iconmaker' and hailed his 'maverick imagination, fearless structural sense and meticulous ear'.

Michael Daugherty's music has the uncanny knack of speaking everybody’s language at once while retaining the ability to surprise, move, stimulate, inspire and amuse. Philadelphia Stories is an orchestral travelogue of the sounds and rhythms of Philadelphia past and present. Written for Evelyn Glennie, who gave the world premičre performance, UFO is inspired by unidentified flying objects and sounds. The final movement, Objects, features virtuosic drumming by the percussion soloist at warp speed to suggest the outer trappings and inner machinery of a fine-tuned alien aircraft.
