Wynton Marsalis’ Liberty promises a vivid musical portrait of America at 250, told in the singular voice of a composer who uses the language of jazz to illuminate the nation’s stories. A true documentarian of American history through sound, Marsalis brings a perspective that is both celebratory and clear-eyed, weaving narrative and rhythm into a distinctly American tapestry. Nicola Benedetti then gifts us a performance of Bruch’s beloved Violin Concerto, which grips the listener from its very first phrase and gathers momentum until the entire orchestra seems to glow from within. Urgent and emotional, the concerto lays its heart bare on the way to a fiery, exhilarating finish.PROGRAM
