Mozart & Copland February 24, 2012

Nashville Symphony with conductor Kelly Corcoran and featuring pianist Angela Hewitt. Daniel Bernard Roumain - Dancers, Dreamers and Presidents *
Mozart - Concerto for Piano No. 20
Copland - Symphony No. 3

Two unmistakably American voices: Daniel Bernard Roumain says his inventive musical meditation on the President of the United States “should be listened to, could be danced to, and [is] an orchestral event that must be seen.” Copland captured the soul of the nation in his music, and his Symphony No. 3 incorporates his famous Fanfare for the Common Man. In between these two pieces, Angela Hewitt joins the orchestra to perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20, one of the composer’s most dramatic works and one of only two he wrote in a minor key.
