About the Concert

The Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra kicks off an evening of rhythm and dance with dynamic selections from Bernstein’s Broadway musical On the Town, featuring "New York, New York."

Trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth's soulful and lyrical sound has enraptured audiences on six continents. She brings her panache to Kalamazoo with a flashy showpiece for trumpet and orchestra.

Written while overlooking the shores of Long Island, New York, Rachmaninoff's final major work fuses together elements of jazz and dance with his characteristic heart-wrenching melodies.
