Penny Gore presents American music. Adams: Short Ride in a Fast Machine. Griffes: The White Peacock. Gershwin: Piano Concerto in F. Plus music by Rouse, Ives, Loeffler and Harris.

The grand finale to this week's celebration of American music with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Orchestras and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers kicks off with John Adams' ever popular Short Ride in a Fast Machine, performed by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic. Wayne Marshall joins the orchestra for Gershwin's Piano Concerto, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers perform Psalms by Charles Ives, and there's another brand-new recording of music by Charles Martin Loeffler from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra play music by Charles Griffes and Christopher Rouse, and round things off with the third symphony of the week by Roy Harris - and perhaps his best, the Symphony no.7.
