David launches the evening with several "Quadrilles" by Stephen Foster, which take us into Henry Cowell's "American Melting Pot." Richard Auldon Clark conducts the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra in this boisterous work, which celebrates various immigrant groups in each of its 7 movements: Celts, Teutons, French, Orientals, Slavs, Africans, and Latin Americans.
