Programme: Copland, Cowell, Carter, Ives
The 成人快手 Philharmonic and their Associate Artist Ludovic Morlot in music by pioneering American composers.
The programme culminates in Ives's Third Symphony, composed in the early years of the twentieth century, which lay unperformed for over forty years, and proved something of a turning point in his career when it was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1947.
Carter's Instances, one of his final pieces, written in the last year of his long life, is dedicated to tonight's conductor and full of energy and a sense of exploration.
Henry Cowell penned nearly a thousand works and this performance of his Seventh Symphony is a rare chance to hear music by this incredibly prolific composer. The programme opens with one of Copland's best-loved pieces, the Suite from his ballet for Martha Graham's company, Appalachian Spring.
