About This Program
Approximate length: 1 hour
This is a program of protest and perseverance, with music evoking the free nature of birds.
Opening the program with a spirit of transience, the sweeping melodies of Robert Schumann’s Fantasiestuck for Cello and Piano offer expressive leaps between moods characteristic of the Romantic era.
Premiered last season during the pandemic, Brent Michael Davids’ Taptonahana for Solo Flute is a musical exploration of language and the generative process of song-ing.
Jonathan Biss
Jonathan Biss headlines Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, which the composer — influenced by the freedom of birdsong — wrote while imprisoned by German forces in World War II.
