“…Forever Young”: John Corigliano at 75

Hailed by Aaron Copland as “the real thing [whose] music is …stunning,” John Corigliano is one of the most honored and often-performed American composers of the past half-century, and has worked closely with everyone from Leonard Bernstein and Yo-Yo Ma to film directors Ken Russell and Francois Girard.  “…Forever Young” salutes the 75th birthday of the Oscar-, Pulitzer-, and Grammy-winning creator of the popular opera The Ghosts of Versailles, music for the films The Red Violin and Altered States, and many other vibrant works. Corigliano will be present to introduce performances of his classic Bob Dylan song cycle, Mr. Tambourine Man (with luminous soprano Amy Burton), and other works.
