Auckland Philharmonia presents Conductor Giordano Bellincampi and Violinist Andrew Beer playing the music of Wynton Marsalis, Bernstein and Gershwin in a glorious musical melting pot of jazz, Latin, Bartók, hoedown, Prokofiev and blues! One of the Philharmonia's last shows of the year, this playful performance is not one to be missed!
To call Wynton Marsalis a legendary trumpeter is merely to scratch the surface of one of the most multifaceted musicians around. His Violin Concerto needs a soloist with immense musical flexibility (few concertos have a movement called ‘Hootenanny’) as well as high virtuosity, and of course the Auckland Philharmonia’s Andrew Beer is one of those rare musicians.
Bernstein and Gershwin were also both American genre-hopping composers, and their tributes to New York and Paris, respectively, round out an incredibly exciting programme happening this November in Auckland's Town Hall!
