BERNSTEIN Three Dance Episodes from On the Town
MICHAEL DAUGHERTY Niagara Falls (Orchestral World Premiere)
COPLAND Appalachian Spring: Suite
PAUL MORAVEC Serenade (Orchestral World Premiere)
GERSHWIN Rhapsody in Blue
Our season concludes with three iconic compositions and two orchestral world premieres. Bernstein's toe-tapping Three Dance Episodes from On the Town, Copland's distinctively American Appalachian Spring Suite, and Gershwin's jazz-infused Rhapsody in Blue are paired with two works rooted in Western New York. Michael Daugherty's Niagara Falls is a musical journey through one of the world's great scenic wonders, while Buffalo-born Paul Moravec's Serenade—inspired by the Great Western Staircase at the New York State Capitol—offers a stirring narrative of ascent and aspiration.
