As we celebrate America, we remember the music that brought jazz to the concert hall with George Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F featuring pianist Ilya Yakushev. His postponed appearance from May 2020 has been eagerly awaited. Yakushev will also perform Tsfasman’s Jazz Suite for Piano and Orchestra. Selections also include Valerie Coleman’s Umoja, an “Anthem for Unity” commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra in 2017, and Tchaikovsky’s homage to Italy with Capriccio Italien.
