New York isn’t just the setting, it’s a main character. Experience 1930s and 40s Manhattan through music that moves like the city itself: brassy, fast-talking, tender when it counts, and always on the move. Gershwin’s concerto for piano swings between Charleston rhythm and back-alley blues, while On the Town embodies subway rush, park-bench hush, and Times Square buzz. Gypsy lifts the curtain, and Porgy & Bess — a defining American work rooted in Black musical tradition — brings the program home, showcasing Broadway in its prime: glamour and grit, lights blazing, and the city wide awake.
Styne: Overture from Gypsy
Gershwin: Concerto in F for Piano and Orchestra
Bernstein: Three Dance Episodes from On the Town
Gershwin: Symphonic Picture from Porgy & Bess
