Joshua Weilerstein, Conductor

On December 2 at Jordan Hall Phoenix presents “Stories and Tales,” a concert bringing together four pieces attached by their ties to fantastic worlds and places. Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte was inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Derrick Skye’s Sunlight Spread draws on elements on son huasteco folk music from Mexico, Maurice Ravel’s Mother Goose is made of five movements, each based on a separate children’s tale, and Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring tells the story of a young couple reminiscing about their lives together while preparing their home in the wilderness for their future.
