An all-American 250th celebration

Peter Schickele: Quartet No. 1 “American Dreams” (1983)

Emma Powell, violin

EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks, violin

Anna Griffis, viola

Leo Eguchi, cello

Janice Weber, piano


Four iconic composers open our season with festive works showcasing the diversity and depth of American music. The NBSO’s brilliant new concertmaster Emma Powell kicks off (literally!) the festivities with John Corigliano’s sassy STOMP for solo violin. Remember PDQ Bach? None other than Peter Schickele, whose quartet “American Dreams” invokes melodies that brought the nation together. Missy Mazzoli’s electric Lies You Can Believe In depicts the frenetic energy of a burgeoning metropolis while the super romantic piano quintet of Boston’s staid grande dame Amy Beach transports the listener to a realm of emotion remarkable – and still bold – in its sensual intensity.
