About Gershwin & Bernstein
An exuberant melding of jazz, blues and classical styles, Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F is an ideal vehicle for Illinois native Conrad Tao, “a personality-plus pianist with a fearless technique” (Chicago Classical Review). Bernstein’s beloved West Side Story dances include themes from the songs “Somewhere” and “Maria.” Barber’s soulful overture and Revueltas’ joyfully raucous Sensemayá frame the program.
Barber: The School for Scandal Overture
Gershwin: Piano Concerto in F
Bernstein: Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
Revueltas: Sensemayá
