David Amram 1960
This evening on WNYC, we're celebrating American composer David Amram's 76th birthday. Amram is known for his orchestral and chamber works as well as his film scores, and is considered one of the pioneers of the jazz French horn. Tonight we'll hear selections from Amram's oeuvre interspersed throughout the evening, including his Theme and Variations on "Red River Valley," "American Dance Suite," "Triple Concerto a tre," and selections from his 1962 film score for "The Manchurian Candidate."
Also on the program tonight, we'll be hearing works by Bach and Handel, as well as Spanish dances by Camargo Guarnieri and Joaquin Turina. We'll also hear Berg's violin concerto "To the Memory of an Angel," which Leonidas Kavakos plays with the Philadelphia Orchestra at Carnegie Hall this Tuesday at 8:00.
