Star pianist Paul Lewis joins the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic for the opening concert of their orchestral season, conducted by Domingo Hindoyan.

In 1950s Manhattan, electrifying dance rhythms punch and kick across the hot city streets. A world away, a composer in exile creates a masterpiece that’s part-symphony, part-ballet, and all Rachmaninov. And in between, Liverpool’s own piano superstar Paul Lewis salutes jazz-age America in Copland’s Piano Concerto and George Gershwin’s inimitable, irresistible Rhapsody in Blue.

Presented by Penny Gore.
