From across the Atlantic, two composers respond to music around them: Joan Tower’s fanfare restores the gender balance of Copland’s celebrated work - and is probably twice as much fun. John Adams meanwhile took inspiration from the burgeoning Minimalist movement to find his own voice in a solid-gold modern classic. And Schumann’s sprightly Second Symphony, written over a century earlier, proves that youthful dynamism and driving rhythms have never been out of fashion.
*Change of Artist: Jessica Cottis replaces Joana Carneiro who is unable to travel due to restrictions around COVID 19.
The concert will be presented by Kate Molleson.
