Company debut

Gershwin ushered in the Jazz Age with a schmalzy slide in the clarinet and piano riffs that captured the buoyancy of the era. Thrill to his Rhapsody in Blue and travel with the composer to the artistic capital of the roaring 20s in An American in Paris. Pivot with the orchestra, then, on this all-American program to Dawson's Folk Symphony, a flawless fusion of classical styles and African-American spirituals that had haunted Dawson since his childhood.
