New York, New York
From the hushed streets and quiet corners to the restless energy and neon-lit skylines, this evocative programme captures the pulse of the city after dark.
Chromatica Orchestra and phenomenal young pianist Ryan Wang take you on a nocturnal wander through the urban jungle.
Originally written for a play, Aaron Copland's ‘Quiet City’ is an atmospheric nocturne that evokes the inner world of a man who abandoned his dreams and the lonely undercurrent of urban life at night. George Gershwin’s iconic ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ is a quintessential American masterpiece, a dazzling fusion of jazz and classical, bursting bursting with elegant swagger and toe-tapping exuberance. Composed in 1906, Charles Ives' ‘Central Park in the Dark’ is a bold and atmospheric experiment in sound with daring dissonances and dreamlike layers. Hypnotic, propulsive, and alive with movement, Steve Reich’s minimalist masterpiece pulses with the energy of a metropolis in perpetual motion.
