FEATURED ARTISTS
DANIEL HOPE
Music Director and Concertmaster
The season opens with a return engagement audiences have been waiting for.
Following their sold-out collaboration in 2019, the acclaimed Marcus Roberts Trio reunites with New Century for a program celebrating the music of Duke Ellington and George Gershwin. Roberts, known for blending jazz and classical traditions with extraordinary creativity, joins Hope and the orchestra for an evening where improvisation and collaboration take center stage.
Alongside Gershwin’s Lullaby and a suite from Hope’s America album, the program explores Ellington’s music through fresh orchestral arrangements. Contemporary voices add another layer to the evening, with Caroline Shaw‘s Entr’Acte and Rhiannon Giddens‘ powerful At the Purchaser’s Option creating musical conversations that span centuries and genres.
