Gershwin & Respighi
JoAnn Falletta, conductor
Joyce Yang, piano

JESSIE MONTGOMERY Snapshots
GERSHWIN Piano Concerto in F
RESPIGHI Church Windows

This concert pairs the rhythm and soul of America with the pictorial grandeur of Italy. George Gershwin’s Concerto in F comes alive under the touch of Joyce Yang, a pianist celebrated for her electrifying performances and depth of expression. The program also introduces Snapshots by Jessie Montgomery, a vibrant reflection of childhood’s playful innocence and storms, co-commissioned by the BPO. Respighi’s Church Windows transports listeners to Italy with its rich, stained glass-inspired melodies. Together, these pieces craft a narrative that spans continents and emotions, inviting the audience on a journey through jazz-infused streets and the echoing aisles of ancient cathedrals.
