Gershwin: An American In Paris
Hugh Wolff conducts the NEC Symphony in a performance of George Gershwin's brilliant 1928 tone poem An American in Paris in NEC's Jordan Hall, March 12, 2014.
Of the work, Gershwin wrote:
My purpose here is to portray the impression of an American visitor in Paris as he strolls about the city and listens to various street noises and absorbs the French atmosphere. With the slow trumpet solo (performed here by NEC freshman Elmer Churampi) our American friend ... has succumbed to a spasm of homesickness. But, nostalgia is not a fatal disease. The American visitor once again is an alert spectator of Parisian life and the street noises and French atmosphere are triumphant.
