See the conducting stars of tomorrow in these engaging concerts where student conductors rotate between conducting a movement of a work, or playing in the orchestra. Program Director and AMFS Music Director Robert Spano observes the work of his students at this weekly event.

Two ballets perfect for a summer day will showcase AMFS conducting students. Copland’s sublime Appalachian Spring was composed in 1944 for Martha Graham and originally called “Ballet for Martha.” Right before the premiere, she renamed it Appalachian Spring, inspired by the Hart Crane poem, “The Dance.” In it, Crane’s reference to spring is to a water source, not the season, but the poem does describe a journey to meet springtime. Copland was amused when people told him he captured the beauty of the Appalachians in his music since he had nothing of the sort in mind. This transcendent and   quintessentially American work captures the optimism of our national spirit, the sustenance of the land, and the joy of new beginnings.

Ravel originally composed the Mother Goose Suite, a depiction of several fairy tales, for children of his friends. Originally written for piano four hands, the suite is now most often heard in Ravel’s exquisite orchestration. Opening the program is a world premiere by Aaron Israel Levin commissioned by AMFS.
