PROGRAM
Michael Daugherty American Gothic
Maurice Ravel Piano Concerto in G Major
Modest Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition
We invite you into our living art gallery where bold colors, sharp contrasts, and unforgettable images come together in a concert that celebrates artistry in all its forms.
Michael Daugherty’s American Gothic is a vibrant, witty homage to iconic American art and culture. Inspired by Grant Wood’s famous painting, Daugherty’s score blends driving rhythms, jazzy inflections, and unmistakably American energy into a work that is both playful and poignant.
The legendary Jon Nakamatsu returns center stage with Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G, a dazzling showcase of elegance and bite. Written in the spirit of jazz-age Paris, the concerto sparkles with bluesy harmonies, razor-sharp rhythms, and haunting lyricism.
Modest Mussorgsky’s monumental Pictures at an Exhibition is a sonic gallery tour inspired by paintings and drawings of the composer’s friend Viktor Hartmann. From the swaggering “Promenade” to the thunderous grandeur of “The Great Gate of Kiev,” Mussorgsky’s vivid musical portraits bring visual art to life in sweeping, unforgettable sound.
Tickets from $35 to $125. Contact us to learn more about our group discounts, $25 Soundcheck Pass for patrons aged 5-25 (valid for all Saturday night concerts!), and our 50% off discount for patrons under 17 years old.
