NOVA presents British composers from different eras in this enchanting program. Music for strings by Purcell, Britten, and living composer Thomas Adès are matched with William Walton’s wildly theatrical piece for narrator and ensemble, Façade. Performers include cellist Rainer Eudeikis, pianist Jason Hardink, and Utah Symphony Associate Conductor Conner Gray Covington.
In our first Gallery Series concert, we meet a millennium of musical revolutionaries, from the mystical works of medieval composer Hildegard von Bingen through Beethoven and Stravinsky to 20th century pioneers such as Florence Price, the first African-American woman to have her work performed by a major symphony orchestra.
Connect with nature through music including Beethoven’s funeral music for four trombones, Elgar’s lushly pastoral Piano Quintet, and Joan Tower’s Night Fields. The Fry Street Quartet is featured with acclaimed pianist Frank Weinstock, and a pair of dancers bring life to Iranian-American composer Gity Razaz’s ballet score Chance Has Spoken.
This NOVA collaboration with the Utah Symphony features their 2018-19 Composer In-Residence, Andrew Norman. Three Norman works depicting glass and mirrors are complemented by Debussy’s Sonata for Violin and Piano featuring acclaimed violinist William Hagen and Dvořák’s transcendent String Quintet, lead by violinist Kathryn Eberle.
Explore two important voices of contemporary music: Israeli-American Shulamit Ran and the legendary Steve Reich. Three works by Ran, including Lyre of Orpheus, will be followed by Reich’s deeply moving Different Trains for String Quartet and Tape, written to commemorate victims of the Holocaust.
Guest pianist Luis Magalhães is featured in Nikolai Kapustin’s Double Concerto for Violin and Piano. This concert focused on the intersection of jazz and classical music also includes Aaron Copland’s Quiet City (featuring Lissa Stolz on English horn and Travis Peterson on trumpet) and Valerie Coleman’s Lenox Ave.
The first half of this program features works inspired by cerebral concepts: Unsuk Chin’s blazing Fantaisie mécanique, Bach’s Chaconne arranged for four cellos, and a world premiere by Augusta Read Thomas conducted by Utah Symphony Music Director Thierry Fischer. The season concludes with a thrilling performance of Mendelssohn’s heartfelt Octet for Strings, led by NOVA Music Director Madeline Adkins.
