The Corinthian Orchestra

Leonard Bernstein: Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
Erich Wolfgang Korngold: Violin Concerto in D, Op.35
Sergey Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances

Not quite a night at the movies, but this concert of American-inspired music borrows much from Hollywood and Broadway from the 1930s to the 1950s.

Hear a performance of Bernstein's popular 'Symphonic Dances', much more than a medley of music from his hit show, 'West Side Story'.

This is followed by The Violin Concerto, which marked Korngold's return to mainstream composing. Buried in the music are themes from many of his film compositions, including 'The Prince and the Pauper'.

The concert closes with Rachmaninov's reflective last composition, the orchestral suite, 'Symphonic Dances', composed in New York in 1940.
