Summary
Kellen Gray leads the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and pianist Junyan Chen in a programme of Bernstein, Copland, Gershwin and Still at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
Why it's fantastic
You may recognise the famous sliding clarinet opening that kicks off this celebration of the American sound. It is an ideal entry point if you want to experience how jazz and classical styles collided a century ago, alongside a rare chance to hear William Grant Still’s soulful, blues-infused symphony.
