Alsop Conducts Music of the Americas

Conductor Marin Alsop guides the SF Symphony through an exhilarating journey that spans the United States, Venezuela, and Mexico. Gabriela Ortiz’s playfully seductive Antrópolis sets the stage while the Venezuelan composer and pianist Gabriela Montero performs her Piano Concerto No. 1, “Latin”. Paired fanfares by Aaron Copland and Joan Tower join with Samuel Barber’s primal and propulsive Symphony No. 1.
