Silvesterkonzert - Bernstein & Gershwin + Livestream
A musical trip to America at the year's end featuring composers Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin, whose works blend new Western and jazz sounds with European classical traditions. Between Bernstein's "Divertimento" and Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess", hear one of America's strongest female voices: composer Jessie Montgomery (born 1981). Her "Freedom Songs" were written for soprano Julia Bullock and arrange traditional African-American music.
