Red, White & Blue Notes – An American Soundscape
From wide-open plains to bustling streets, this program captures the spirit of American music. Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man sets the tone, while George Gershwin sweeps us from Havana nights to a jazzy Paris afternoon. Alongside these classics, Charles Ives reimagines patriotic tunes with playful invention and Kay Westermann brings a vibrant marimba concerto, all under the baton of Benjamin Schäfer in a musical journey as diverse, daring and full of life as the Orchestre Place de l’Europe itself.
