George Gershwin: An American In Paris (arr. Clarice Assad)

From the ominous fog horns of the San Francisco Bay in Hitchcock’s Vertigo to the chaotic city streets of Gershwin’s An American in Paris, New Century puts you at the heart of the drama with a selection of music from iconic films. Chinese composer Tan Dun, Oscar winner for his score to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, weaves athletic percussion and graceful melodies into his Double Concerto, featuring Ukrainian pianist Alexey Botvinov and Daniel Hope. A celebration of the American West completes the program with a special arrangement of music by legendary film composer Ennio Morricone.

Attendees to our Thursday, January 19 performance in San Rafael are invited to join in a post-concert anniversary toast with champagne and sweet treats in the foyer of the Osher Marin JCC.
