The sounds and sights of America – and beyond.

Fancy an adventure? This is an exhilarating musical road-trip through America, a dash across the pond and a flight into outer space. Go back in time with the Harlem Hellfighters, the band of Black Americans who brought jazz to Europe, then sashay through the city with Gershwin’s oh-so-smooth Rhapsody. Go further into the past to hear Ives’s sounds of New England in the Civil War. Zip across the Atlantic to stroll the Parisian streets. Finally, leave the earth behind and experience Mazzoli’s Orbiting Spheres in all their mysterious glory. The phenomenal pianist Stewart Goodyear takes the piano seat and Kazuki Yamada leads the CBSO in this superb and thrilling programme.
