American Portrait
December 3, 2023 @ 2:30 am - 5:00 pm

Greetings from America! Symphony San Jose presents five musical postcards depicting the vast beauty and diverse character of our nation: Ives’ patriotic celebration from New England, Still’s soulful southern soliloquy, Midkiff’s Blue Ridge Mountain tribute, Shaw’s homage to the fragrant orange groves of our home state, and Copland’s famous western masterpiece.
This is the first appearance of a mandolin as a solo instrument on our series, and Midkiff’s concerto (performed by the composer himself), is full of foot-stomping, toe-tapping, virtuosic electricity that’s just great fun to hear.
