About
Revel in the genius of “the Dean of American composers,” Aaron Copland. Conductor David Alan Miller leads this retrospective of the wide-ranging gifts of the composer whose music is synonymous with America. From the wide-open spaces depicted in his ballet scores Appalachian Spring and Rodeo, to his jazz-infused Music for the Theatre, Copland created a soundtrack of American life that continues to inspire. Audiences will bask in the glory of the Appalachian Spring Suite as originally scored for full orchestra. Hailed for a voice that glows with “perfect enunciation and pleasing warmth” (Boston Musical Intelligencer), bass-baritone William Socolof brings the all charm and grace of Copland’s American folksong arrangements fully to life.
