Michael Christie, Conductor

This all-American program features Aaron Copland's brilliant score for The City, a documentary film that was presented at the 1939 World's Fair in New York. Adams’ lively and sometimes shocking Chamber Symphony marries a large symphonic work with a smaller chamber format featuring fifteen talented Phoenix Symphony musicians. The program also includes Barber’s emotionally stirring Adagio for Strings as well as Hanson’s Second Symphony.

COPLAND - “The City”
ADAMS - Chamber Symphony
BARBER - Adagio for Strings
HANSON - Symphony No. 2, (“Romantic”)

The Symphony Classics Series is sponsored by US Airways.
