Copland & Twain: An America 250 Celebration
Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ken-David Masur - Bradley Symphony Center


Program Info:
Aaron Copland - Music for the Movies – Concert suite made from the music of the movie Mice and Men
Aaron Copland - Music for the Theatre

This exciting new theatrical concert from director Bill Barclay and Concert Theatre Works marries Aaron Copland’s stirring incidental music with Mark Twain’s poignant observations of a changing America. Copland's compositions, including Music for Movies and Music for the Theatre, meet excerpts from Twain's essays, apocryphal stories, speeches, and articles. Music Director Ken-David Masur leads the full orchestral power of the MSO, joined by six costumed actors and enhanced by projected visuals. The merging artistry of two critical pillars of American identity provides a soothing & thought-provoking take on the polarizing questions vexing our body politic today using majesty, tolerance, wisdom, and humor.
