Musikakademie der Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes by Copland, Gershwin, Ives, C., Bernstein, Montgomery, Jessie, Márquez, Thu 03 Aug 2023, From (2023/2023), Conductor Mark Gibson, Euregio Kulturzentrum Toblach, Dobbiaco, Italy

The American Dream - anyone can do it, right? Under the title "The Promise of Living?", the choir and orchestra of the Music Academy of the German National Academic Foundation will present a program about life and life dreams from the perspective of different people in the summer of 2023 as part of a lively tour with concerts in South Tyrol, in the Allgäu and in Upper Franconia (Sub)cultures. The luggage on this journey through the ›new world‹ mainly includes pieces by (Latin) American and Jewish composers of the 20th century, which on the one hand are bursting with a spirit of optimism, joie de vivre, hope, rhythm and dance. On the other hand, the possible disappointments of such a dream "from rags to riches" as well as contemporary, new worlds of sound and life are traced. The audience can look forward to works by Bernstein, Copland, Barber, Ives, Lauridsen, Márquez, Mitchell, Montgomery and Gershwin are happy - fitting for the 125th anniversary of his birth. Bernstein student Mark Gibson is at the conductor's desk.
