American Classics at the Proms

Synopsis

From the urban rhythms of Bernstein's West Side Story and On the Town to Gershwin's jazz-infused Rhapsody in Blue and the wide-open landscapes of Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Moross’s The Big Country, Marin Alsop conducts this barnstorming celebration of music from her homeland. The Marcus Roberts Trio are special guests alongside the Philharmonia. Katie Derham presents.
