Rhythm of the Americas

A thrilling fusion of symphonic mastery and jazz-infused energy! Grammy Award-winning pianist Michelle Cann takes center stage for both Florence Price’s Piano Concerto, a work of rich lyricism and bold orchestral colors, and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G, a dazzling blend of elegance and swing. The evening begins with Gabriela Ortiz’s Téenek, pulsing with dynamic rhythms, and concludes with Duke Ellington’s Harlem Suite, a vibrant tribute to the heart of jazz. From bold orchestral textures to toe-tapping grooves, this concert is a celebration of rhythm, soul, and unstoppable energy!
