2011.2012 Season
Gershwin & Beyond
Edwin Outwater,
conductor
American music in all its glorious diversity is here for you to enjoy, from the jazz-flavoured riffs of Gershwin's immortal Rhapsody in Blue, to the high-stepping cowboy songs of Copland's Rodeo, and the eloquent, heart-piercing beauty of Barber's Adagio for Strings.
Due to a shoulder injury, Conductor Joana Carneiro will unfortunately not be able to join us as planned for our Gershwin & Beyond concerts on May 5th and 6th. Graciously, Edwin Outwater has stepped in to conduct these concerts. The programme for these concerts will remain the same.
Light Classics Concerts feature musical favourites that you’re sure to
recognize, and include engaging introductions from the stage.
