“The concert overture, in sonata-allegro form captures the strident (and occasionally tender and even mysterious) energy of a busy American port city. The great port of Norfolk, Virginia, where I live, was the direct inspiration.”—Adolphus Hailstork
Adolphus Hailstork wrote “An American Port of Call” for the Virginia Symphony, which premiered it in 1985.
Giancarlo Guerrero conducts the Juilliard Orchestra.
Performed and recorded on September 24, 2022, at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center
