Wilkins Conducts Bernstein & Ellington
The Los Angeles Philharmonic performs an all-American program depicting scenes from the women’s suffrage movement, gentle lullabies, and vibrant city streets. New York City comes to life in both the dances from Leonard Bernstein’s beloved musical On the Town and Duke Ellington’s orchestral suite Harlem.
Valerie Coleman’s Fanfare for Uncommon Times reflects our unsettled moment, “at once reflective and restless, uplifting and ominous” (The New York Times), while William Grant Still’s Mother and Child was inspired by Harlem Renaissance artist Sargent Johnson’s tender painting. At the center of the program is a newly arranged song cycle from Shaina Taub’s Broadway hit Suffs, centered around the movement for women's voting rights.
