Comment
ANDRIS NELSONS CONDUCTS LEE, COPLAND, THOMPSON, AND STRAVINSKY FEATURING PAUL LEWIS, PIANO
"In tribute to Serge Koussevitzky’s legacy, Andris Nelsons and the BSO dedicate this concert series to the trailblazer. This program, focusing on the wide variety and rich tapestry of 20th century music, explores themes of spirituality and liberation, blending American sounds and European traditions, much as Koussevitzky did during his life. Performing artist Thomas Warfield joins as the narrator for James Lee’s Freedom’s Genuine Dawn, a piece based on the great Fredrick Douglas text 'What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?', which makes the audience grapple with the legacy of slavery being intertwined with the founding of the country. This afternoon’s performance by the Tanglewood Festival Chorus is supported by the Alan J. and Suzanne W. Dworsky Fund for Voice and Chorus." (from BSO/Tanglewood website)
