Gershwin's An American In Paris with the CBSO

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra present an all-American programme of music under the baton of its music director Kazuki Yamada. In what the orchestra describe as a 'thrilling music road-trip through America, a dash across the pond and and a flight into outer space', this live concert from Symphony Hall in Birmingham introduces works by Carlos Simon and Missy Mazzoli alongside an evocative East Coast portrait by Charles Ives with classics from the pen of George Gershwin. Introduced by Mark Forrest.
