Born in Brooklyn

Born in Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra celebrates the borough’s extraordinary musical heritage with a program devoted to composers born in Brooklyn. The evening features Aaron Copland’s sparkling Clarinet Concerto and vivid excerpts from Billy the Kid, George Gershwin’s soulful Preludes, and Old American Folk Songs, Part I, featuring baritone Rocky Sellers, alongside John Corigliano’s evocative Red Violin Suite. Together these works trace a lineage of artistry that is both deeply local and profoundly international, reflecting Brooklyn’s enduring place in the world of music.
