Jefferson Symphony Orchestra: Season Opener Concert: Katie Mahan, piano

"Three mighty composers are brought together for one exhilarating season opener. Aaron Copland's El Salon Mexico takes you to the heart of a 1930s nightclub where you'll hear inspired musical depictions of Mexican art music and dancing rhythms. Rhapsody in Blue has captivated audiences worldwide since its debut in February 1924 and we commemorate the 100th anniversary of this iconic piece composed by the legendary George Gershwin. Antonin Dvořák's Ninth Symphony, his 'New World' Symphony, is a representation of the Czech composer's encounter with American culture, folk music, and the landscapes that surrounded him. With Arturo Gonzalez, conductor; Katie Mahan, piano."
