Alpesh Chauhan conductor
Simone Lamsma violin
When Aaron Copland hit the town in Mexico City, he didn’t hold back, and tonight Alpesh Chauhan takes us on a wild, whirling ride through the highs and lows of the 20th century. Maurice Ravel waltzes on the brink, and Carlos Simon brings more dances to the party with his Four Black American Dances: Ring Shout!, Waltz, Tap and Holt Dance. We also welcome back previous Artist in Residence Simone Lamsma to play Britten’s gripping Violin Concerto: a work that weaves dark visions on the eve of the Second World War.
“Simon indeed received shouts of joy and acclaim from the audience ― proof that he had captured our spirits.”
