Join us for a landmark evening of musical masterworks at the acoustically superb Grace Episcopal Church in Newton. Our program will include the World Premiere of William Grant Still's American Suite alongside three short works that showcase his unique melding of classical forms with jazz and blues idioms. The concert will also feature the Boston-area Premiere of Arthur Foote's virtuosic Cello Concerto with acclaimed soloist Julian Schwarz. Rounding out the program will be beloved works by Antonin Dvorak and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, two composers who profoundly influenced Still's musical development.
The concert features an exceptional collaboration between the Boston Chamber Symphony and renowned cellist Julian Schwarz, who recently recorded Foote's Cello Concerto with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra for its first commercial release on the Delos label. Conductor Avlana Eisenberg brings special insight to the Still compositions; her recently released CD of world premieres by William Grant Still on the Naxos label includes each of the works by Still featured in this upcoming concert.
A reception with the performers will follow the program.
