Keys To The City is a one-movement orchestral concerto for piano and orchestra written by the American composer Tobias Picker for the Brooklyn Bridge Centennial.
[2][3] To prepare, Picker said:[4] I read Hart Crane and McCullough's "The Great Bridge."
Visiting the bridge at different times of day and night, I observed its structure, its content and its context.
I watched the light play through cables composed of billions of strands of streel.
And I composed furiously.Keys To The City premiered on May 24, 1983, at the Fulton Ferry Landing underneath Brooklyn Bridge.
