UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The symphony orchestra of Berkeley University in California was founded in 1923 and enjoys one of the most august histories of New World ensembles. The university offers world-famous music training and its orchestra, whose members are from the student body and which is conducted by its leader David Milnes, gives 15–18 concerts annually. The orchestra always schedules a contemporary work and this Budapest concert is no exception. On this occasion they will be performing Copand's Appalachian Spring, one of Gershwin's best-kown compositions, and the symphony Shostakovich wrote in the months following Stalin's death.
