Road trip across the US and its musical history without leaving the DMV! Conducted by the National Symphony Orchestra’s music director Gianandrea Noseda, the orchestra celebrates American composers and musical contributions to film, Broadway, and opera. Experience the unique musical-visual project that’s sweeping the nation with composer Peter Boyer’s American Mosaic paired with Americana photo historian Joe Sohm’s stunning imagery from across all 50 states. Afterwards, enjoy classic renditions of works from Bernstein’s beloved West Side Story and witty operetta Candide, plus Gershwin’s lively, jazz-influenced score of An American in Paris.
