Bernstein & Appalachian Spring

About This Event

Peter Oundjian conducts a program featuring Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and Copland's Appalachian Spring.

What to Expect

• 1.This is a seated orchestral program, with Bernstein's energetic Symphonic Dances from West Side Story alongside Copland's more spacious Appalachian Spring. The contrast between the two works is part of the appeal.
• 2.Arrive a little early so you can find your seat and settle in before the orchestra starts. Late seating may be held until a suitable pause in the music.
• 3.Keep your phone silent and avoid talking during the performance; in a concert hall, even small noises carry.
• 4.For a Sunday afternoon show, plan your parking or transit ahead of time around Orchestra Hall's Woodward Avenue location. Leave extra time if you're unfamiliar with the area.
• 5.Check the venue's current food and drink rules before you go, and don't count on a full meal at the hall. Eating beforehand is the safer plan.
