The first half of the program features female composers. The first was had Peruvian influence, along with Chinese, Lithuanian, and Jewish heritage. The price showed her Peruvian side very well. We were fascinated and could head woodpeckers and buzzing insects in the piece.
The second piece was an African American composer from the early 1900s. Her music was lost and forgotten for a time. But it is being rediscovered. The pianist is also African American and was a revelation. She played with sincerity, authority, and passion. Her feet and fingers flew over the keys and pedals. We felt blessed to witness her performance.
The second half of the program featured a Russian composer. He debuted his work after Stalin died. His work was passionate and I remembered the amazing history and pain of that country.
Craig was converted to the Utah Symphony. They were fabulous.
In the lobby is the fabulous glass sculpture. It shows best as night lit up and reflecting the fire it evokes. I love it.
Momentos of our night for our boys and the instruments they have played, at least the brass ones.
