The Pasadena Symphony closes the season on April 29 with Gershwin’s iconic Jazz Age composition accompanied by Barber’s brilliantly romantic violin concerto performed by the “superb” (The New York Times) Tai Murray – the musical voice of a generation whose playing is “technically flawless, vivacious and scintillating.” (Muso Magazine)

Composers Showcase piece, Carlos Simon’s The Block is based on six paintings by Romare Bearden of different buildings (church, barbershop, nightclub, etc.) on one block in Harlem, highlighting the rich energy and joyous sceneries that Harlem expressed as the hotbed for African American culture.
