2024 Grammy®-winning conductor Teddy Abrams joins the Orchestra for a feast of American mashups, including timeless hits from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story and Aaron Copland's jazz-inspired Clarinet Concerto. The ASO welcomes the "expressive and free-spirited" (Bachtrack) clarinetist Martin Fröst for the Clarinet Concerto by bandleader and jazz legend Artie Shaw. And Grammy®-winner Valerie Coleman puts the Orchestra through its paces with a nod to the Harlem Renaissance in a co-commissioned concerto.
