This afternoon of playful pieces begins with Gershwin’s popular tone poem An American in Paris, which paints a vivid picture of life in the French capital—bustling streets, car horns, and all. The musical fireworks continue in a jazz-influenced piano concerto by Ravel, a work that demands fast-moving fingers from the soloist. The lively spirit and dance-like melodies of Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony close out the program.
The Colburn Orchestra is generously underwritten by Eva and Marc Stern.
