Music Academy students show off their talents in this intimate recital series featuring a delightful mix of repertoire. This performance will be livestreamed.
Two works on this program, both critically panned at their premieres, have since become audience favorites. Shostakovich’s Sixth starts with an achingly emotional slow movement before plunging toward a fast and fiery finish. In Tchaikovsky's lively Violin Concerto, the virtuosic demands made on the soloist never fail to leave audiences awestruck. The David Hockney-inspired opening work is performed in memory of composer, pianist, and former Colburn faculty member Sarah Gibson.
