Music Director Franz Welser-Mรถst leads a celebration of African American music โ the symphonic tribute to spirituals in Dvoลรกkโs โNew Worldโ symphony, Eastmanโs minimalist Second Symphony, and the world premiere Wynton Marsalisโs imaginative Trumpet Concerto. Principal Trumpet Michael Sachs and Marsalis discuss following each otherโs careers and their excitement at collaborating on this brilliant, rollicking new piece that draws from a wide range of American musical idioms. Scholar Kira Thurman describes Julius Eastmanโs mid-century world and reflects on the process of rediscovering and celebrating this long-neglected Black composer.
