Denis Kozhukhin piano<br />
Gershwin An American in Paris<br />
Ravel Piano Concerto for Left Hand<br />
Stravinsky Jeu de cartes<br />
Ravel La valse<br />
Gershwin’s An American in Paris captures<br />
the heady glamour and colorful sound world<br />
of 1920s Paris—complete with taxi horns<br />
and a sultry blues melody played by muted<br />
trumpet. Cocky and urbane, Stravinsky’s<br />
Jeu de cartes depicts the precipitous rise<br />
and fall of a social climber. Complementing<br />
the program’s “city slickers” theme are<br />
Ravel’s ravishing La valse and jazz-inflected<br />
Piano Concerto for Left Hand, featuring<br />
Russian pianist Denis Kozhukhin.<br />
June 20 H<br />
