In November of 1934, 35-year-old African American composer William Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony brought a Carnegie Hall audience to its feet. Now, the NSO brings you the stirring symphony one New York critic called “the most distinctive and promising American symphonic proclamation which has so far been achieved.”

Joshua Weilerstein completes the program with quintessential music by two champions of the Great American Songbook: Leonard Bernstein’s ever-popular Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and George Gershwin’s jazz-infused Rhapsody in Blue featuring pianist John Kimura Parker.
