Georgia Mann introduces performances recorded at the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Proms of music ranging from Beethoven to Brahms, starting today with an American Night at the Proms, courtesy of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Concert Orchestra and its New York State-born Principal Conductor Keith Lockhart.
Toes were tapping in a concert that started with folk songs and dances – joyously orchestrated and reworked by Aaron Copland – and ended in Chris Brubeck’s distinctive blend of classical, jazz, blues and country music and his exhilarating musical journey,Travels in Time for Three – a thrill-ride concerto composed for virtuoso string trio and orchestra. Plus music by Dave Brubeck whose 100th birthday falls this year.
