The Chairman Dances (1985)

COMPOSER: John Adams

GENRE: Foxtrot for Orchestra

PERFORMANCE: Saturday, January 14th, 2017 at Powell Hall with David Robertson conducting

I am a big John Adams fan, and was very engaged with the vivid representation of the scene of Chiang Ch'ing engaging the portrait of Mao, and dancing. Loved the winding-down sounds of the gramophone were neat.
