The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

The Portland Youth Philharmonic (PYP) opens its exciting 96th season in the Schnitzer with George Gershwin‘s expressive, jazz inspired Piano Concerto, performed by 14–year-old Joshua Ji, winner of the 2019 Portland Piano International/SOLO Piano Concerto Competition. The fall opener also features Amy Beach’s Gaelic Symphony (1894 – the first work to be composed and published by an American woman composer). The concert will conclude with a performance of the pulsating Batuque by Brazilian composer Oscar Lorenzo Fernández.

Conducted by David Hattner, PYP’s Musical Director.

Presented by Portland Youth Philharmonic.
