Summer Season 2024 – Stars and Stripes
The Hallé Orchestra conducted by Stephen Bell - Bridgewater Hall
Program Info: The Hallé Orchestra Stephen Bell, Conductor Viv McLean, Piano
Celebrate Independence Day with the Hallé and join us on an American musical odyssey.
Copland’s musical homage to the everyday heroes, with its triumphant brass and percussion, heralds the start of our captivating exploration of American music, where the rich legacies of iconic composers harmoniously converge. Bernstein’s rhythmic tapestry will set the stage aglow; Gershwin’s jazzy brilliance will sparkle; Barber’s elegiac Adagio will infuse the atmosphere with poignancy; David Arnold’s bombastic score will enthral us and the pomp and patriotism of Sousa’s Stars and Stripes will send us marching home, calling for more.
