A luminous American prism reveals facets of the nation's diverse musical character. The program opens with two anthems, one official and one adopted: The Star-Spangled Banner and Copland's iconic Fanfare for the Common Man. Orchestral Variations finds Copland as an American in Paris embracing the continent's new modernist sounds. The precocious New York songsmith George Gershwin burst onto the classical scene with his dazzling Rhapsody in Blue, a Jazz Age masterpiece celebrating its 100th birthday in 2024. Living American icon Joan Tower composed a spirited response to Copland with her Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman, No.1. The program closes with Dvorák's beloved New World Symphony, a work that sought to establish an American identity from a European perspective.- Christopher Anderson-Bazzoli
