This stirring Hollywood Bowl concert by the Los Angeles Philharmonic is a patriotic tribute to the America of the past and present. Copland & Marsalis features the West Coast premiere of a newly commissioned work by acclaimed jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, bookended by selections from the repertoire of beloved composer Aaron Copland. Marsalis' Violin Concerto draws on musical influences from folk to jazz and blues to reflect on America's status as a melting pot, while Copland's An Outdoor Overture and Symphony No. 3 are full of the enthusiastic, upbeat Americana that made him a household name.
