About this event

Live Music

Expansive American soundscapes and bold American voices come together in music by three celebrated composers: Aaron Copland, John Adams, and Wynton Marsalis. Teddy Abrams and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra join this incredible lineup to perform a new symphony by the virtuosic genre-crossing American music ambassador Wynton Marsalis. Copland’s orchestral suite from the 1940s film Our Town sets a tone of serenity and simplicity, depicting life in a small New Hampshire town, while John Adams’ Frenzy swings with interweaving rhythms and gestures jostling over a frenetic, perpetual pulse.
