Rhapsody in Blue

Symphony No. 3

Approved

The American George Gershwin (1898-1937) went down in music history as one of the first to combine classical music with jazz. He created symphonic jazz, founded the American opera, and with his contributions to film music left countless hits to the jazz treasury. The most frequently performed orchestral works are An American in Paris and the Cuban Overture, the opera Porgy and Bess, and especially Rhapsody in Blue for piano and orchestra. It was given its first performance in 1924 at a concert entitled The Experiment in Modern Music, received rapturous applause, and has since been considered one of the most iconic pieces of American classical music.

Aaron Copland (1900-1990) was a composer and conductor, whose creative work is considered by many to be the most recognizably "American" - in his stylistically eclectic, accessible, picturesque works, he was able to capture the spirit of his homeland, the beauty of the American expanses, as well as optimism, pride and curiosity its inhabitants. In addition to the mighty orchestral scores, such as Appalachian Spring and Fanfare for the Common Man, which make up the bulk of his oeuvre, Copland also created a handful of works for voice and piano. The last of his symphonies, the Third Symphony, was composed in 1946 and boasts a lyrical nature and lavish orchestration.

Lio Kuokman (1982), artistic director of the Macau Music Festival and resident conductor of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, will perform as conductor and piano soloist at the same time. Kuokman studied at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, the Julliard School, the Curtis Institute of Music, and the New England Conservatory.

Američan George Gershwin (1898-1937) se je v zgodovino glasbe zapisal kot eden prvih, ki so klasično glasbo združili z jazzom. Ustvaril je simfonični jazz, utemeljil ameriško opero ter s svojimi prispevki filmski glasbi zapustil jazzovski zakladnici neštete uspešnice. Najpogosteje izvajana so orkestrska dela Amerikanec v Parizu in Kubanska uvertura, opera Porgy in Bess, predvsem pa Rapsodija v modrem za klavir in orkester. Krstno izvedbo je doživela leta 1924 na koncertu z naslovom Eksperiment sodobne glasbe, požela navdušenja poln aplavz ter od takrat velja za eno najbolj ikoničnih del ameriške klasične glasbe.

Aaron Copland (1900-1990) je bil skladatelj in dirigent, čigar ustvarjalni opus imajo številni za najbolj prepoznavno »ameriškega« - v svoja slogovno eklektična, dostopna, slikovita dela je znal ujeti duha svoje domovine, lepote ameriških prostranstev ter optimizem, ponos in radovednost njenih prebivalcev. Copland je poleg mogočnih orkestrskih partitur, kot so Appalachian Spring in Fanfare for the Common Man, kakršne sestavljajo glavnino njegovega opusa, ustvaril tudi peščico del za glas in klavir. Zadnja med njegovimi simfonijami, Tretja simfonija, je nastala leta 1946 ter se ponaša z lirično naravo in razkošno orkestracijo.

Kot dirigent in hkrati solist na klavirju se bo predstavil Lio Kuokman (1982), umetniški vodja Glasbenega festivala v Macau ter rezidenčni dirigent Hongkonške filharmonije. Kuokman je študiral na Hongkonški akademiji za uprizoritvene umetnosti, na Šoli Julliard, Curtis inštitutu za glasbo ter Konservatoriju Nove Anglije.
