Synopsis

A celebration of American music graces the Proms. The program journeys through time, beginning with the folk traditions of Copland’s Appalachian Spring, then moving to the introspective Quiet City. Next comes Chris Brubeck, whose work seamlessly blends classical, jazz, blues, and country influences. His concerto, Travels in Time for Three, is a vibrant and exhilarating piece, written for the exceptional string trio Time for Three and orchestra.
