    Copland - Fanfare for the Common Man
    Marquez - Danzon No.2
    Barber - Adagio for Strings
    Sousa - The Liberty Bell
    Piazzolla - Libertango
    Dvorak - New World Symphony

    Conductor: Paul McCusker

    Take a musical journey through North and South America, and enjoy a diverse range of music and styles. The effervescent Latin rhythms of Marquez’s exuberant Danzon No.2 and the sultry Libertango by Astor Piazzolla contrast with Barber’s famous Adagio for Strings and Dvorak’s ever popular ‘New World’ symphony, inspired by his experiences and observations during his time in the United States. Lots of well known repertoire to enjoy in this journey across two continents!
