About This Performance


Enjoy Bernstein's famous orchestral version of his musical West Side Story. The highly energetic and dynamic string trio Time for Three bring their classically-trained and bluegrass inspired style to the PSO, in a piece co-commissioned with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Wheeling Symphony. Leonard Slatkin performs his signature piece, Copland's Symphony No. 3, which includes the recognizable theme from his Fanfare for the Common Man.
