Don’t miss the College of Charleston Orchestra and Opera at the Gaillard Center for an evening of iconic American composers!
Join the College of Charleston’s orchestra and opera programs for a send-off concert featuring repertoire that will be performed on tour just days later at Boston Symphony Hall.
This concert celebrates America’s 250th with a vibrant program of iconic American composers, featuring Bernstein’s energetic overtures from Candide and West Side Story; Gershwin’s “Summertime” from Porgy and Bess, bringing a touch of Charleston’s charm to Boston; and Copland’s stirring The Promise of Living from The Tender Land, evoking the spirit of American hope and community. The evening will culminate with the uplifting Make Our Garden Grow from Candide.
This performance is a celebration of America’s musical heritage, showcasing the College of Charleston Orchestra and Opera programs as they present this rich and diverse repertoire first in Charleston, then in the heart of Boston. Conducted by Yuriy Bekker.
