The music of Aaron Copland is set to the spectacular photography of James Westwater in this inspiring concert presentation.  Westwater's photochoreography utilizes three screens suspended above the orchestra.  Images change and dissolve in perfect time to the music, creating a unique blend of art forms.

The concert's focus on our nation's landscape continues as the complexities of New York City are portrayed in Danielpour's Toward the Splendid City.  The concert concludes in the West with Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite.
