Description

Made in America
featuring Philip Powell, piano

Experience the wide spectrum of style within the distinctive American musical character, from the popular, folk-based idiom of Aaron Copland to the lush Romantic spirit of Samuel Barber, the irreverent modernism of Charles Ives, the bold, unbridled energy (here in homage to Colonial American composer William Billings) of William Schuman and the jazz/Broadway-infused symphonic language of George Gershwin.
