About the Event
Marshall invites travelers to an evening where the vitality of New York meets the elegance of the concert hall. At the Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo, George Gershwin’s Of Thee I Sing Overture opens the program with sparkling theatrical flair, followed by his Piano Concerto in F, a celebrated fusion of jazz rhythms, blues‐inflected colors, and symphonic ambition.
Leonard Bernstein’s Three Dance Episodes from On the Town sustain the momentum with their exuberant Broadway spirit and cinematic energy. The evening concludes with A Symphonic Picture for Orchestra by Robert Russell Bennett, adding another vibrant chapter to the story of American orchestral music.
An ideal choice for visitors looking to experience Milan beyond the usual tourist itinerary, this concert combines iconic American repertoire with the city’s warm and atmospheric evening charm. Before or after the performance, explore the nearby Navigli district, enjoy a traditional aperitivo, or take a leisurely tram ride through Milan’s historic streets.
A night of music that is vibrant, sophisticated, and unmistakably urban.
