Musical fireworks flare and dazzle in this New Year’s concert! This live recording of the 2024 New Year’s concert is Philzuid’s seventh album — and it’s a very different New Year’s concert with Latin rhythms and American dance in the foreground. Chief conductor Duncan Ward takes us from Gershwin’s lively Overture from Strike Up the Band to a radiant Adriana Bignagni Lesca in Montsalvage’s Cinco canciones negras. The dancing continues with Bernstein’s On the Town: Three Dance Episodes and ends with a premiere: the first recording of the swinging Cuban Suite by young composer Jenny Pena Campo.
