This unique program features composers with strong Boston ties. We will premiere a new work by Yu-Hui Chang, whose work has been performed worldwide and is “characterized by energy, precision, ingenious effects, and vibrant colors – all in the pursuit of a deep connection with humanity.” Eric Chasalow is recognized for his innovative work that combines traditional instruments with computer generated sounds. We will premiere his Ghost Songs, a deeply personal work described as both fascinating and haunting. The second half of the program features works by Florence Price, as well as Edward MacDowell, Arthur Foote, Horatio Parker and Amy Beach, who were members of the Boston Six, a group of classical-music composers who lived during the late-19th and early-20th centuries in and around Boston, Massachusetts. Their work is pivotal in the development of an American classical idiom that stands apart from its European ancestors.
