Gershwin: An American in Paris
John Williams: Trumpet Concerto
Prokofiev: Symphony No. 5

Gershwin’s bustling depiction of a Parisian vacation shares an all-American first half with the trumpet concerto of fellow genre-defying legend John Williams, performed by GTMF/LA Phil Principal Trumpet Thomas Hooten. Prokofiev said about his Symphony No. 5: “I regard the Fifth Symphony as the culmination of a long period of my creative life. I conceived of it as glorifying the grandeur of the human spirit.”
