Delight your ears in this journey through American musical history, showcasing a selection of works that highlight the diversity and richness of our cultural heritage. The featured compositions include Jennifer HIGDON’s "blue cathedral", Samuel BARBER's "Symphony in One Movement", and John Alden CARPENTER's "Krazy Kat", a groundbreaking piece that seamlessly blends jazz and Latin influences into the symphonic genre. The grand finale of the afternoon will be George GERSHWIN's iconic "Rhapsody in Blue", a cornerstone of American classical music.

Pianist Thomas Pandolfi, a local sensation renowned for his virtuosity and musicality, will take center stage to interpret Gershwin's epic concerto. The piece, known for its oscillating bluesy tunes, march-like melodies, and grandly romantic themes, promises an electrifying and jubilant experience for all in attendance.

Anna Binnewegs conducts the Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic, a 65-member modern, symphonic orchestra of professional and semi-professional musicians dedicated to creating innovative and exhilarating live music experiences.
