  3. The American Dream


Xian Zhang conductor
New Jersey Symphony

Our nation’s music is a kaleidoscope that always turns to the new. Bernstein captured the energy and audacity of New York in his 1944 musical, On the Town, and made waves with a racially diverse cast; and his West Side Story put the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet on Manhattan fire escapes and sidewalks. Meanwhile, Still’s Darker America focuses on people who came to America by force, not choice. DBR’s provocative i am a white person who _____ Black people opens the concert with a blend of tender and edgy energy.

Daniel Bernard Roumain i am a white person who _____ Black people
Still Darker America
Bernstein Three Dance Episodes from On the Town
Bernstein Symphonic Dances from West Side Story

NOTE: Rob Kapilow’s We Came to America will not be performed at this concert.
