Louis conducts a program of American masters, including Copland’s Appalachian Spring, which captures the vast openness of the American landscape and our country’s pioneer spirit.
CSO Concertmaster Timothy Lees plays Barber’s Violin Concerto, whose sweetly elegant opening movements and virtuoso fireworks of the finale provide a perfect showcase for his artistry. Ives’ “cosmic drama” The Unanswered Question, in which a solo trumpet intones the “question” and ensembles of flutes and strings seek an “answer,” opens the concerts, and the pulsating drama of Bernstein’s On the Waterfront, which recalls the docks and slums of postwar New Jersey, completes this stunning program.
