From the virtuosity of Franz Waxman's Carmen Fantasy and the jazz-infused brilliance of George Gershwin to the haunting cinematic icons of Samuel Barber and Nino Rota, this program traces the dialogue between the Old World and the American Dream. The evening culminates in the lush, soaring mastery of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, the "prodigy of Vienna" who defined the Golden Age of cinema. Join us for a journey through the soundtracks of the American soul—music that was born in the studio but lives forever in the concert hall.
