It is well known that someone like Branford Marsalis knows no genre boundaries. Neither do his colleagues from the New York-based Orpheus Chamber Orchestra! And so they present a programme spanning classical and jazz, covering 100 years of American music: symphonic explorations by Gershwin and Ellington, alongside Jeff Beal’s brand-new saxophone concerto, composed especially for Marsalis and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
