American Dreams
A Prom with an American focus in which Ryan Bancroft and the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales feature influences of jazz alongside Barber, Copland, and a new work by Gavin Higgins
California-born Ryan Bancroft makes his debut as Principal Conductor of the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales, and at the Proms, with this programme which has a focus on America and its music. Martin暖鈥檚 Jazz Suite perfectly complements John Adams鈥檚 Chamber Symphony; the sound-world of which arose for the composer when he viewed his study of Schoenberg's Chamber Symphony through the lens of cartoon music coming from the next room. An exciting new commission by British composer Gavin Higgins entitled Rough Voices follows, before two American classics: Barber鈥檚 nostalgic evocation of a balmy Tennessee night and Copland鈥檚 exhilarating ballet suite inspired by early-19th-century pioneer settlers in Pennsylvania, in its less-heard original chamber version.
