What's on


Saturday 14th October 2023, 7:30pm

The Bristol Ensemble - An American Landscape by Candlelight

United Reformed Church, Thornbury

An American Landscape by Candlelight, Presented by The Bristol Ensemble

Bernstein – West Side Story Suite - Viv Mclean - piano
Gershwin – Concerto in F - Roger Huckle - violin
Gershwin – Rhapsody in Blue - Marian Givens - violin
Philip Glass – Mishima - Carl Hill - viola
Copland – Hoe Down from Rodeo - Harriet Wiltshire – cello and Jub Davis - Bass

Viv Mclean – piano, 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 heard the premier 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 distinctly American programme.

This programme has been specially arranged for Piano and strings quintet for the Bristol Ensemble.
