About This Event
President Nixon goes to China – and diplomacy becomes a foxtrot. George Gershwin scales the pinnacles of jazz-age Manhattan, in the ultimate skyscraper concerto. Valerie Coleman finds that unity has African roots, and Samuel Barber grapples with European tradition, in a symphony written at storm force.

America has many musical voices, and in her debut concert with the BBC SO Gemma New has conceived a concert that’s as diverse and as generous as the American dream itself - ranging from the UK premiere of Valerie Coleman’s exuberant “Anthem of Unity” to 20th century classics by Adams and Barber. And to top it all, there’s another BBC SO debut, as the “stunning” (Washington Classical Review) Lise de la Salle plays Gershwin’s gloriously tuneful concerto: expect fireworks worthy of the Fourth of July.
