Details
Filled with hummable themes and sultry jazz tones, Gershwin’s crowd-pleasing Concerto in F will glisten and glow in the hands of Hélène Grimaud. Like Gershwin, Kurt Weill’s talents ranged from symphonies to Broadway and popular music (most notably, the jazz standard “Mack the Knife”), and his irresistible Symphony No. 2 showcases his effortless gift for songwriting. The concert opens with Julia Perry’s action-packed A Short Piece for Orchestra.
