NEW WORLD

„New World“ turns its gaze towards a musical culture shaped by movement, diversity and the courage to reinvent itself.

Aaron Copland’s expansive soundscapes, Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade inspired by Plato’s Symposium, and George Gershwin’s exhilarating An American in Paris reveal different facets of American music: openness and optimism, intellectual curiosity and the energy of urban life. Anna Clyne’s Shorthand adds a distinctive contemporary voice to the programme.

Violinist Mihaela Martin and cellist László Fenyő join the Berlin Academy of American Music under Garrett Keast in a programme that brings European tradition into dialogue with American freedom. A concert about new horizons, cultural exchange and the courage to forge a musical language of one’s own from diverse influences.
