About
Join Aurora Orchestra and regular collaborator, pianist Tom Poster, on a journey across America, as the orchestra showcases its dazzling musicianship.
In the first half, Copland's Appalachian Spring evokes the vast rolling landscapes of the American interior, whilst Caroline Shaw's miniature for string quartet Valencia finds delight and wonder in a single piece of fruit – the common Valencia orange. Rich with his signature jazz stylings and opening with one of the most instantly-recognisable instrumental solo ever written, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue made an instant star of its 25-year-old composer, and remains a cherished highlight of 20th-century American music.
