An invitation to celebrate the modernity, refinement, and contagious energy of the early twentieth century, through a concert that unfolds like a dazzling sonic fresco.

The OSM and guest conductor Stéphane Denève respond, blending Gershwin’s abundant inventiveness and exotic verve with Jacques Ibert's subtle evocations of Mediterranean voyages.
