For five decades, Leonard Slatkin has championed the diverse music of America. This three-week festival begins with a cross-country musical travelogue of sorts from Virgil Thomson, Leonard Bernstein, Morton Gould, Joan Tower, plus Ferde Grofe’s colorful Grand Canyon Suite, and continues with film and concert music by John Williams.
