Dance pulses through this concert from Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.. Jean-Yves Thibaudet is the soloist in Gershwin鈥檚 Piano Concerto, with its bluesy slow movement and hot, frenzied finale. Ravel鈥檚 La valse dances to the edge of the abyss, while Stravinsky鈥檚 ballet Petrushka projects the earthy rhythms and bold colours of Russian folk music. The concert opens with the European premiere of US composer Carlos Simon鈥檚 Four Black American Dances, drawing on dances that chart the Black American experience from slavery through to today.
