Born in the U.S.A: Gil Shaham & Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia

About the Event

Head Stateside with Gil Shaham and Antonio Pappano for a concert of contemporary American classics.

Shaham plays Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto — its sweet lyricism a standard of the solo repertoire. Pappano conducts Bernstein's innovative ballet music 'Fancy Free', venturing as far as jazz and blues in its energetic rhythms. John Adams' Harmonielehre blends the developmental processes of minimalism with the emotive potential of Romanticism — a fitting metaphor for this concert's combination of old and new worlds.
