The Colburn Orchestra joins forces with the Los Angeles Master Chorale for a breathtaking performance of Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony led by Earl Lee in his LA debut.

This afternoon of playful pieces begins with Gershwin’s An American in Paris, which paints a vivid picture of life in the French capital—bustling streets, car horns, and all. The musical fireworks continue in a jazz-influenced piano concerto by Ravel before the lively spirit and dance-like melodies of Dvořák’s Eight Symphony close out the program.
