Kick off the season with a spirited celebration of American music, from a jubilant orchestral opener to a fiery, Latin-inspired violin concerto. The journey continues with Duke Ellington’s monumental Black, Brown and Beige and Gershwin’s sparkling An American in Paris, celebrating a jazz-infused world of sound and rhythm. Together, these works paint a rich, dynamic portrait of American creativity.
