Buckle up and get ready for a concert unlike anything you’ve ever heard. We are thrilled to welcome to our stage Metropolitan Opera Orchestra trombonist Denson Paul Pollard for not just one, but two spectacular bass trombone solos with the orchestra. We will also play Sibelius’s charming Karleia Suite, and we get down to some unfinished business with Schubert’s famous Unfinished Symphony.

Broadcast: Chamber Music of Black Composers

This concert features some of the most beautiful American orchestral compositions created by African Americans. The first part of the program incorporates two well-known African American female composers, Florence Price (1887 – 1953) and Margaret Bonds (1913 – 1972), honoring the American musical art form created by the enslaved, the spiritual. Price’s Colonial Dance (unknown) reflects dance, which was an integral part of African American life and American life more generally around the time she composed it. And Price’s Concert Overture No. 1 (unknown) is based on the spiritual Sinner, Please Don’t Let This Harvest Pass. Bond’s Montgomery Variations (1964) is a symphonic theme and variations in 7 movements based on the spiritual I Want Jesus To Walk With Me. The second half of the program highlights the indigenous American musical genre, jazz featuring music by James P. Johnson (1894 – 1955), William Grant Still (1895 – 1978), David Baker (1931 – 2016), Duke Ellington (1899 – 1974) and the guest conductor, Damien Sneed (1979 – present).
