About this concert
Join the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for a celebration of some of the most iconic pieces of American music ever composed.
A sparkling programme filled with timeless American classics, from the captivating sounds of Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man to John Williams’ Olympic Fanfare and Theme. Originally composed for the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984, our performance will celebrate its 40th anniversary and coincide with the Games in Paris this year. Plus Gershwin’s jazz-inspired Rhapsody in Blue and An American in Paris, as well as music from the much-loved musical West Side Story.
Featuring pianist Eric Lu, the Orchestra is also thrilled to be joined by conductor Michael Seal for a spectacular evening at the one-and-only Royal Albert Hall.
