Join Pianist Julia Scott Carey and Composer Stephanie Ann Boyd for a special solo piano performance of the Flower Catalog, a collection of 13 botanically inspired preludes. Set in New England Botanic Garden’s iconic Limonaia conservatory at golden hour, this one-of-a-kind program will include the world premiere of a new prelude, “Apple Blossom,” and a Q&A with the artists. A selection of beer, wine, and light snacks will be available for purchase during the event.
The exquisite preludes of the Flower Catalog were written by acclaimed composer Stephanie Ann Boyd. Each piece was commissioned by a different piano soloist and inspired by their favorite flower. The collection explores the relationship between memory and nature, influenced by personal stories, childhood memories, and a range of emotions so familiar to the human experience. The result of her work is a musical “bouquet” for audiences to spend time with. This event is presented in partnership with Juventas New Music Ensemble.
