RSNO & SNJO West Side Story
Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Bertie Baigent - Usher Hall
Program Info: Royal Scottish National Orchestra Makoto Ozone - Piano Scottish National Jazz Orchestra
Bluesy piano, wailing clarinets: no composers defined a city like Duke Ellington and George Gershwin defined Manhattan. Tonight they come to you in full symphonic sound, as the RSNO joins forces with pianist Makoto Ozone and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra in a special arrangement of Gershwin’s intoxicating Rhapsody in Blue, before flying to San Francisco in a classic Hitchcock film score and prowling the urban jungle of West Side Story. Big cities, big tunes – and you’d better believe it’s going to swing.
Repertoire includes Duke Ellington - Black and Tan Fantasy Edvard Grieg arr. Ellington - Morning Mood from Peer Gynt Suite Leonard Bernstein arr. Florian Ross - West Side Story Suite George Gershwin arr. Tommy Smith - Rhapsody in Blue (Extended Version) Bernard Herrmann - Suite from Vertigo Leonard Bernstein - Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
