Gershwin - Concerto in F
Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue

Copland - Hoedown from Rodeo
In a programme specially arranged for piano and string quintet, Viv McLean joins the Bristol Ensemble to perform Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F, a jazzy, optimistic, richly-textured work packed full of fabulous tunes and toe-tapping rhythms.
It was commissioned by Walter Damrosch, conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, the day after he had heard the premiere of Rhapsody in Blue, which is also part of this programme. Philip Glass’s breakthrough work, music for the iconic film Mishima, Copland’s lively and evocative work Hoe Down and Bernstein’s West Side Story Suite complete this distinctively American programme.
