Slip into an intimate soirée of musical storytelling, where countertenor John Holiday’s inimitable voice weaves a tapestry of familiar narratives and timeless elegance. From the cherished Great American Songbook to the reflective melodies of early 20th-century repertoire, this program is a sincere ode to the themes that bind us together: love, loss, hope, and home.

Schoenberg’s Five Piano Pieces, Op. 23, which marks the crystallization of his twelve-tone technique is the launchpad. Other groundbreaking piano methods are heard in Leo Ornstein’s Suicide in an Airplane, distinctive for its tone clusters. Pierre Boulez’s fascinating 12 Notations uses the number 12 as a self-imposed structure with a 12-note row forming the basis of 12 solo piano pieces, each just 12 bars long. The indirect passing of the Schoenberg baton is heard in A Love Supreme, a progressive jazz masterpiece by the famed innovator John Coltrane, whose groundbreaking style is rooted in Schoenberg’s techniques, gleaned from his teacher Dennis Sandole, a Schoenberg student. Coltrane also studied with Ornstein as a teenager in Philadelphia.

This program promises to take you on a journey you’;ve never been on before. First: Elliott Carter’s Sound Fields, a piece that’s less about melody and more about the beautiful, shifting textures of sound itself. Imagine a canvas of strings, where moments of thin, transparent sound are contrasted with rich, dense tapestries - it’s a quiet, meditative experience that invites you to listen in a completely new way.
