We open with Aaron Copland’s music from the 1940 film Our Town, adapted from the play by Thornton Wilder. Acclaimed pianist Clara Rodriguez joins us as soloist for George Gershwin’s Piano Concerto which fuses the traditional classical concerto form with the more modern jazz-inspired style that characterises Gerswhin's work. Florence Price’s first symphony was her first full-scale orchestral composition, and the first symphony by a black woman to be performed by a major American orchestra. It’s infused with melodies and rhythms from Afro-American folk music and is the perfect music for a summer evening. Advance booking is recommended!
