We'll start with the captivating swing of Duke Ellington's hopeful, forward-looking <I>New World A-Comin'</I>, with its vision of a post-World War II country in which oppression and racism no longer exist. The bubbly exuberance of Gershwin's <I>American in Paris</I> captures the delight and wonder of an American visitor taking in the sights and sounds of Paris for the first time. <BR><BR>We're pleased to bring back the extraordinary pianist Sara Buechner for a performance of Bernstein's searching "Age of Anxiety", an unusual symphony featuring solo piano. Sara's powerful performance with OEBS in 2009 was a highlight of that season. <BR><BR>We'll also pay tribute to our neighbors south of the border with Alberto Ginastera's wildly popular <I>Estancia</I>, a lively work incorporating themes from Argentinean cowboy music.<BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR><I>(Suitable for children 10 and over.)<BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"></I></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"><B><I></I></B></FONT></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
