The Bernstein Experience

Joshua Gersen, conductor

This all-American celebration at the Philharmonic has a distinctly red-white-and blue vibe — big-hearted, vital, idealistic — and features some of the best-loved, best-known music by three iconic composers: Barber’s luminous Adagio, Bernstein’s brilliant Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, and Copland’s Third Symphony, with its stirring Fanfare for the Common Man. Uplifting and inspirational.
