Andrés Orozco‐Estrada, Conrad Tao: Orchestra Nazionale di Santa Cecilia

Over het evenement

Delve into the music of the Twentieth Century as old world meets new. Colombian conductor Andrés Orozco‐Estrada returns to the Accademia for Barber, Gershwin, and Ravel, with American pianist Conrad Tao as his soloist.

This concert finds Ravel in Spanish mode, with both his Rhapsodie espagnole and the famous Boléro drawing on Hispanic themes and flavors. Gershwin's blend of jazz and classical forms has ensured the popularity of his Concerto in F, while Barber's Overture for 'The School for Scandal' is a witty Rossini‐esque triumph.
