View all →About This Event
The evening at Usher Hall will feature a diverse musical tapestry. Performances will draw inspiration from works spanning Copland's Appalachian Spring and Florence Price’s concerto. The programme promises a journey through varied styles, culminating in an electrifying conclusion. Tickets should be checked on the official website for details.
From the open landscapes of Copland’s Appalachian Spring to the spiritual-inspired lyricism of Florence Price’s Piano Concerto, from the symphonic warmth of William Grant Still to the electrifying rhythms of Bernstein’s West Side Story, this concert is a vibrant journey through American music at its most exciting. Rising star Jeneba Kanneh-Mason joins conductor Kellen Gray for a concert packed with orchestral colour and irresistible rhythm. Recommended by Classic FM Gain insight into the music with our musicians at the pre-concert talk at 6.45pm in the Upper Circle Bar in Edinburgh and the Clyde Foyer in Glasgow. Free to ticket holders. The running time of this concert is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes including a 20-minute interval.
