Breathe deep, open your mind, and stretch your arms wide with us as we celebrate our vast American landscape. From the wide-spaced harmonies of An Outdoor Overture and Howard Hanson’s cinematic “Romantic” Symphony, through the celestial expanse of Jennifer Higdon’s meditation on loss, to Dvořák’s jubilant Te Deum, tonight we explore what lies beyond the horizon.

We celebrate that spirit with a whirling masquerade waltz from trailblazer Amy Beach, followed by the world premiere of Erin Aldridge’s boundary-blurring, bluegrass-inspired fiddle concerto, featuring Danny Frank & the Smoky Gold. We close with Copland’s towering, boisterous Third Symphony featuring its famous Fanfare for the Common Man.

From Duke Ellington’s swirling jazz-ballet harmonies to the propulsive tango-noir rhythms of the New York City subway, to George Gershwin’s dizzying Parisian fever dream, you’ll want to look both ways before you cross the street—and hold on tight, because tonight’s program doesn’t stop for red lights. Our very own principal pianist Alexander Sandor joins us in the hot seat for this all-American jazz joyride.
