Santa Barbara Symphony- An American in Paris
Sunday, April 19, 2025 | 3:00 PM
The Granada Theatre
Attend “Conversations with KUSC” with on-air personality Jennifer Miller Hammel
Sunday Pre-Concert Chat | 2:00-2:30 PM
Gershwin’s jazzy musical postcard, An American in Paris, highlights this program of America’s masters as the nation turns 250. Alexi Kenny, acclaimed by The New York Times for virtuosity that is “breathless and often daring” plays Barber’s haunting Violin Concerto. Charles Ives’ vibrant Three Places in New England presents portraits of patriotism. And the inner glow of Jennifer Higdon’s Blue Cathedral will soothe long after its sumptuous sound fades to silence.
