America@250 Encore: Bernstein, Copland + Barber

Sobre el evento

Broadway, the blues, fiddle tunes, and cowboy songs. 250 years into the American Dream, the bounty of the "huddled masses" ripples across the world like a beacon on a hill. Come celebrate America@250 with the ultimate all-American playlist. In an evening of high-energy family fun, the orchestra stirs up a rumble (mambo-style) with music from Bernstein's unforgettable West Side Story. Also, the rugged, wide-open spaces of the American frontier come alive in Copland's breathtaking classic Appalachian Spring. In between, the mighty Atlanta Symphony brass delivers goosebumps with the iconic Fanfare for the Common Man, while the strings trot out a heel-kicking "Hoe-Down." Bernstein and Barber get things underway with a snappy pair of overtures.
