Marc-André Hamelin Revisits Gershwin
2026-2027Energy, brilliance, and rhythm: dance is at the heart of this electrifying program that plunges us into the bustling streets of New York. With Coincident Dances, composer Jessie Montgomery weaves an urban kaleidoscope inspired by the city’s streets, blending jazz, funk, and classical music. Gershwin, for his part, draws on jazz clubs for his Concerto in F, fusing swing with classical elegance—resonating with panache under the fingers of Marc-André Hamelin. Escaping the city’s tumult on Long Island, Rachmaninoff writes his Symphonic Dances, the last spark of an exiled Romanticism, steeped in nostalgia and grandeur. Under Gemma New’s direction, the OSM takes us on an imaginary journey through the city that never sleeps—by turns electric, dreamy, and endlessly alive.
A surprising and vibrant concert showcasing an unconventional program and dazzling artists.
