This concert of 1950s works highlights post-war America’s musical diversity. Selections from Bernstein’s West Side Story pulse with urban energy, blending jazz, Latin, and classical styles sung by Lourdes Rodriguez and Matthew Hill. Piston’s Symphony No. 4 sheds his usual academic tone for a vibrant tribute to industrial power. In contrast, Oboist Bethany Slater will perform Kay’s Pietà, a lyrical concerto for English horn and strings, draws inspiration from Michelangelo’s Madonna della Pietà, offering moments of deep reflection.

This family-friendly concert explores exciting journeys through music! Hear music from Harry Potter, Moana, and Peter and the Wolf, all telling tales of adventure.
