The American spirit of Copland’s Third Symphony is undeniable--vital, optimistic and big-hearted. Conducted by Jaap van Zweden, its sonic spectrum spans from grand lyrical passages to evocations of endless horizons, exclaimed in the finale’s heroic Fanfare for the Common Man. Our hotspots festival continues with a focus on Iceland’s lively Reykjavík through Nico Muhly’s Concerto for Two Pianos.
*This show is part of hotspots festival, which shines a light on three hotspots of classical music innovation: Berlin, Reykjavík and New York.
