大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra

To open its 2018/2019 Glasgow Concert Season the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard explore the American roots and resonances of Leonard Bernstein in this his centenary year.

Before his richly-scored, multi-voiced and genre-defying Songfest, Dausgaard and the orchestra play Copland's stately Fanfare for the Common Man; the European premiere of a vivid work by one of America's leading contemporary composers, Augusta Read Thomas; and a pioneering musical experiment whose vernacular virtuosity would have a major impact on Bernstein - Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
