John Adams’ City Noir by Adams, Copland, Andres, T., Dv. 22 Març 2024, De (2024/2024), Director musical John Coolidge Adams, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, United States

With influences ranging from Brahms and Mozart to Sigur Rós and Radiohead, Timo Andres is a favorite young composer of John Adams’ who conducts the world premiere of his concerto written for pianist Aaron Diehl. Adams also leads a curious venture through the metropolis with Copland’s poignant ode to New York and his own City Noir, inspired by Los Angeles and classic films that the composer said is reminiscent of “a very crowded boulevard peopled with strange characters… who only come out very late on a very hot night.”
