West to East

Conductor Kerem Hasan joins the 大象传媒 Philharmonic for music by Shostakovich, Gershwin and Florence Price.

From the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester
Presented by Linton Stephens

Kerem Hasan joins the 大象传媒 Philharmonic for the final concert of their 2021/2 Manchester season. We start in the American Midwest with Florence Prices's multi-coloured tone-poem "The Oak" and travel to America's east coast for Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F for which the orchestra is joined by the exuberant Xiayin Wang. Jazz-infused interval music by Ukranian-born Nikolai Kapustin transports us from Tin Pan Alley to Soviet Russia, where Shostakovich's unflinching Tenth Symphony ends the programme, his musical signature stamped heavily over its closing pages.
