About This Event

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra makes its Proms debut with Music Director Louis Langr茅e, bringing works by two celebrated American composers. Bernstein鈥檚 symphonic suite drawn from his soundtrack to On the Waterfront is a cinematic journey through the docks and slums of post-war New Jersey, telling the story of one man鈥檚 heroicfight against corruption and intimidation.

In a year in which America has inaugurated a new president, Copland鈥檚 Lincoln Portrait offers a musical homage to another. Lincoln鈥檚 greatest speeches are set against a stirring orchestral tone-poem: America in music.

The climax of the concert is another passionate statement of musical nationalism: Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Symphony No. 5.
