About This Performance
The Philadelphia Orchestra presents an all-American program celebrating two titans of 20th-century music under the baton of Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin. George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein represent the vibrant crossroads where classical tradition meets jazz, Broadway, and popular song, creating works that are distinctly American yet universally beloved. Both composers bridged high and low culture with extraordinary skill, crafting music that speaks to concert hall audiences and beyond.
Expect an evening that pulses with energy, rhythm, and unforgettable melodies. Gershwin's works may include selections from his orchestral catalog like "Rhapsody in Blue" or symphonic excerpts from his beloved opera "Porgy and Bess," while Bernstein's contributions could range from his exuberant "Candide" Overture to excerpts from "West Side Story." This program offers both classical music newcomers and seasoned concertgoers a perfect entry point into American orchestral repertoire—music that swings, soars, and tells stories of American life with sophistication and soul.
Marian Anderson Hall at The Kimmel Center provides an intimate yet grand setting for this musical celebration. As the smaller of the Kimmel Center's two main halls, it offers excellent acoustics and sightlines that bring audiences closer to the orchestra's nuanced performances. The venue's warm ambiance perfectly complements the accessible yet sophisticated nature of this American repertoire, creating an atmosphere where the Philadelphia Orchestra's renowned sound can shine in all its detail and power.
