Songs Of The Paradise Saloon
The LPO returns to De Montfort Hall with Classic FM award winner Alison Balsom for an evening of American-influenced music. Alison performs British composer Bramwell Tovey's evocative Songs of the Paradise Saloon for trumpet and orchestra. Adapted from Tovey's opera, The Inventor, about a real-life 19th-century con-artist, this unusual piece evokes the atmosphere and characters found in a turn-of-the-century American dive bar with its languid, jazz-infused music.
Closing the evening is Dvorak's much-loved Symphony No. 9 (From the New World), his touching symphonic hymn to the slave songs and spirituals of America, which includes the famous Largo melody. Composer of West Side Story Leonard Bernstein's Overture to his operetta Candide opens the concert in suitably exhilarating fashion.
Live and Local, supported by JTI.
