How would you define the sound of America?

For Aaron Copland, son of Russian immigrants, it was all about the simple gifts of open spaces and clear skies – set to gloriously tuneful music in Appalachian Spring.

Leonard Bernstein painted a grittier picture, but there’s still hope amid the urban energy of West Side Story.

But in a new century, new identities are taking shape: whether the fantastic, rhythmic vision of LA-born Derrick Skye – whose heritage embraces Ghanaian, Irish and Native American cultures – or the UK premiere of Douglas Cuomo’s brand new sax concerto, played today by Sicilian-American jazz icon Joe Lovano.
