SUMMARY:Sounds From Home
DESCRIPTION:This program\, rescheduled from this fall\, centers around our complex and ever-evolving sense of home. It opens with the world premiere of Elegy for Solo Oboe by composer Chen Yi (a BandQuest and ChoralQuest composer)\, who was born in Guangzhou\, China and settled in the United States\, where she is a Professor of Composition at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The piece was written for and will be performed by Principal Oboe Cassie Pilgrim\, whose family hails from the same region of China. The program also features excerpts from Florence Price’s String Quartet No. 2\, infused with African American dances and Black idioms of the mid-20th century. \nPrincipal Flute Julia Bogorad-Kogan performs a solo work by James Lee III\, inspired by his long relationship with Brazilian music. Composer and musician PaviElle French reprises a movement from A Requiem for Zula\, a symphony commissioned and premiered by the SPCO that revisits her upbringing in Saint Paul’s Rondo neighborhood. The program closes with Antonín Dvořák’s American String Quartet\, a piece written after the composer moved to the United States\, that blends Czech influences with popular American music. \nDate & Time: Saturday\, April 10\, 2021 at 8pm CST. \nLive stream the event here.

SUMMARY:Fresno Philharmonic presents their Digital Masterworks Series.
DESCRIPTION:For 2021\, the Fresno Philharmonic is presenting a series of online performances in their Digital Masterworks Series. Each concert will premier on YouTube\, and will later be broadcast on Valley Public Radio on the 2nd Tuesday following each YouTube premier. Join host David Aus and conductor Rei Hotoda for this series of special broadcasts. \nIntersections of Past and Present: Hailstork and Haydn \nOn Valley Public Radio\, KVPR FM89: Tuesday January 26th at 10PM CST | 8PM PST \nAmerican composer William Bolcom‘s Commedia is a witty commentary on the classical symphonic style of Haydn. The music of Adolphus Hailstork (a BQ composer)\, hailed as the dean of African-American composers\, is also steeped in the classical tradition. \nAmerican Visions: Copland Appalachian Spring \nSaturday\, February 20\, 2021 at 7:30pm CST | 5:30pm PST \nThe varieties of American music are on display in this program combining new voices with Aaron Copland‘s popular ballet score Appalachian Spring. Joan Tower‘s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman sets the stage for our musical exploration of American identity featuring recent works by Jessie Montgomery and Chickasaw Nation composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate (a ChoralQuest composer). \nVive la France: Ibert Divertissement \nSaturday\, March 13\, 2021 at 7:30pm CST | 5:30pm PST \nAlons-y! This program is a Francophile’s delight culminating in the charming insouciance of Jacques Ibert‘s Divertissement. Our season-long exploration of contemporary African-American composers continues with Jasmine Barnes‘ timely Resistance Brass Quintet. \nBach to the Future: Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 \nSaturday\, April 17\, 2021 at 7:30pm CST | 5:30pm PST \nThe Masterworks Series concludes with a celebration of the influence of Baroque music across five centuries. Gabrieli’s music written for St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice was an important for the turn from the Renaissance to the Baroque musical style. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 exemplifies the high Baroque style\, while works by Beethoven\, Villa-Lobos and Kevin Day testify to the Baroque’s lingering inspiration down to the present. \nCheck out their YouTube page on these dates and times to listen to each program.
