Big tunes for a big country. American composers always think larger-than-life, and whether it’s Samuel Barber flexing his muscles in a powerful First Symphony, Leonard Bernstein turning a booze-up into a violin concerto (starring New York’s own Robert McDuffie), or George Gershwin swinging his way through jazz-age Paris, one thing’s for sure: you’re in for great tunes and serious entertainment. It’s going to be an awesome party – and with Peter Oundjian conducting, you’re all invited!
