Two brilliant 19th-century piano trios and a new work by American composer Kyle Rivera make up this dynamic program. Rivera often draws upon his Caribbean heritage and the diverse cultural environment in which he grew up to craft his soundscapes.

Two ballets written for the Martha Graham Dance Company feature prominently on this evening showcasing American creativity and originality. Augusta Read Thomas’s The Auditions is in seven sections, and depicts three dance auditions and the environment surrounding them. According to the composer and choreographer, the ballet "takes place in two worlds – one ethereal, one grounded.” The otherworldly, odd-numbered sections, all titled “The Landscape” contrast with the action-packed even-numbered sections, all titled “The Room.”
