Bernstein & Appalachian Spring

About this event

American music, restless and searching. Peter Oundjian is in his element in a program that sweeps from the virtuosity of Joan Tower’s Concerto for Orchestra to the lyricism of Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade, captured by rising star Paul Huang. From the open skies of Copland’s Appalachian Spring to the full-throttle surge of John Adams’ Frenzy, this program evokes the spirit of American energy in motion. | Join us for a pre-concert talk 1 hour before most performances. Pre-concert Talk Join us one hour prior to most classical performances for a 30-minute pre-concert talk.

With a deeper understanding of the music, your symphony experience will be more engaging and even more memorable. Please note, our pre-concert talks are scheduled for every PVS Classical Series performance, except Friday morning Coffee Concerts.
