Copland's inspiring Lincoln Portrait, narrated by Elizabeth Norman, and Gershwin's jazzy Piano Concerto in F, with soloist Melanie Brsan Villasenor, anchor this concert of breathtaking American music. Our chorus and orchestra present the dramatic Kyrie from Beach's Grand Mass and Bernstein's uplifting Chichester Psalms, which combines Hebrew and Christian traditions in a visionary plea for unity. Bonus: A performer shares insights into the music at the start of the concert.
