Â鶹Éç Orchestras at the Proms. Georgia Mann introduces performances recorded at the Â鶹Éç Proms of music ranging from Beethoven to Brahms, starting today with an American Night at the Proms, courtesy of the Â鶹Éç Concert Orchestra and its New York State-born Principal Conductor Keith Lockhart.
Toes were tapping in a concert that started with folk songs and dances – joyously orchestrated and reworked by Aaron Copland – and ended in Chris Brubeck’s distinctive blend of classical, jazz, blues and country music and his exhilarating musical journey,Travels in Time for Three – a thrill-ride concerto composed for virtuoso string trio and orchestra. Plus music by Dave Brubeck whose 100th birthday falls this year.
