Conducted by Joshua Weilerstein, the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra gives voice to the diversity of American society, with music by Gershwin, Copland, Florence Price and Derrick Skye. Marc-André Hamelin is the soloist in Rhapsody in blue , Gershwin's spectacular 'jazz concerto'. American music by Copland, Price and Skye Aaron Copland is one of the most important founders of American music. Conducted by Joshua Weilerstein, the orchestra plays his Appalachian Spring suite for orchestra. Nineteenth-century composer Florence Price was the first African-American female composer to be commissioned by a major American orchestra. Her music disappeared into oblivion after her death, but is now getting the stage it deserves again. Derrick Skye adds West African rhythms, Hindustani classical music and music from the Balkans to the minimalist music of John Adams. Marc-André Hamelin plays Rhapsody in blue George Gershwin connects jazz with classical music in his Rhapsody in blue jazz. The famous sweeping clarinet opening, swinging and catchy jazz riffs, stopped trumpets and virtuoso piano part make it a benchmark in American music. Pianist Marc-André Hamelin, who is credited with an almost superhuman technique by The New York Times, is a dream soloist in this musical fireworks show.
