Join us and experience a collage of Americana interpreted by two of our foremost composers, John Adams and Aaron Copland, and bluegrass phenomenon Chris Thile (who will perform his Mandolin Concerto with Orpheus at Carnegie Hall on March 24).
Thile’s inventive take on traditional fiddle tunes will be interspersed with movements from Adams’ quirky and bittersweet Alleged Dances.
The show will conclude with Copland’s Appalachian Spring Suite in its original version for 13 players, a masterwork infused with homespun beauty that continues to define the American sound.
