Tito Muñoz conductor
Michelle Cann piano
New Jersey Symphony
An all-American program as vibrant and varied as our country itself. Gershwin set classical music on fire with his jazzy Rhapsody. Likewise, his contemporary Florence Price blended orchestral richness with a foot-stomping good time. Pianist Michelle Cann has made these meteoric pieces her own. With Carlos Simon’s Zodiac, we’ll wing you into the heavens, and Copland’s Billy the Kid takes you to the wide-open west.
