Grammy-nominated pianist Terrence Wilson, a noted Gershwin specialist, joins the orchestra for the 1925 jazz, blues and ragtime-influenced Concerto in F, while two of Leonard Bernstein’s most elegant pieces, Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and the overture from Candide, close out the concert.
