West to East

Conductor Kerem Hasan joins the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic for music by Shostakovich, Gershwin and Florence Price.

From the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester
Presented by Linton Stephens

Kerem Hasan joins the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic for the final concert of their 2021/2 Manchester season. We start in the American Midwest with Florence Prices's multi-coloured tone-poem "The Oak" and travel to America's east coast for Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F for which the orchestra is joined by the exuberant Xiayin Wang. Jazz-infused interval music by Ukranian-born Nikolai Kapustin transports us from Tin Pan Alley to Soviet Russia, where Shostakovich's unflinching Tenth Symphony ends the programme, his musical signature stamped heavily over its closing pages.
