RSNO & SNJO West Side Story
Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Bertie Baigent - Usher Hall


Program Info:
Royal Scottish National Orchestra
Makoto Ozone - Piano
Scottish National Jazz Orchestra

Bluesy piano, wailing clarinets: no composers defined a city like Duke Ellington and George Gershwin defined Manhattan. Tonight they come to you in full symphonic sound, as the RSNO joins forces with pianist Makoto Ozone and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra in a special arrangement of Gershwin’s intoxicating Rhapsody in Blue, before flying to San Francisco in a classic Hitchcock film score and prowling the urban jungle of West Side Story. Big cities, big tunes – and you’d better believe it’s going to swing.

Repertoire includes
Duke Ellington - Black and Tan Fantasy
Edvard Grieg arr. Ellington - Morning Mood from Peer Gynt Suite
Leonard Bernstein arr. Florian Ross - West Side Story Suite
George Gershwin arr. Tommy Smith - Rhapsody in Blue (Extended Version)
Bernard Herrmann - Suite from Vertigo
Leonard Bernstein - Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
