Aaron Copland, Billy the Kid: Suite
Experience the excitement of iconic American music that celebrates the folklore and musical moods of the Wild West. The theme from “Rawhide” sets a raucous tone for a rowdy program of Western-themed music, including Copland’s Suite from his 1938 ballet, Billy the Kid. Writing with a similar cinematic flair, composer George S. Clinton created The Rose of Sonora for the celebrated violinist Holly Mulcahy, who embodies the female outlaw, Rose, in a new and wholly satisfying violin concerto.
