Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra presents Barber and Bernstein

Conductor David Robertson leads an all-American program with Bernstein's dynamic, jazz-influenced dance episodes from On the Town, Barber'?s poignant Adagio for Strings, and Bernstein's Age of Anxiety, a masterful rendering for orchestra and piano (played by Orli Shaham) of W.H. Auden's epic poem about four lonely wartime strangers who spend an evening in a New York bar pondering the human condition. Sponsored by Macy's, KMK Law, and Fifth Third Bank. This program is presented as part of Cincinnati Remembers WWI, a citywide series of events commemorating the centenary of the First World War and anticipating Cincinnati Opera's production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera "Silent Night" in July 2014.
