Kick off the Springfield Symphony’s season of American icons with music from New York, by New Yorkers! Featuring music by George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and Aaron Copland, this program highlights three New Yorkers who created some of the most quintessentially American music of the 20th century. From their apartments in The Big Apple, they captured the sounds not just of New York but the American West and beyond. In a tribute to the world beyond New York, the program also includes Kansas-based composer Alyssa Morris's Tlapali, Tlahuilli, a dazzling orchestral re-telling of the Aztec myth depicting how the world received its color and light, featuring the principal woodwinds of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra.
