Step into a world of hope, possibility and new beginnings.
Dvořák My Homeland (9’)
Price Violin Concerto No. 1 (25’)
Still Symphony No. 4 (26’)
Kellen Gray conductor
Elena Urioste violin
The 20th century saw a flowering of American music. Guest conductor Kellen Grey is passionate about the music of pioneers like William Grant Still and Florence Price – composers whose music sang of freedom, hope, and the endless possibilities of the American Dream. Take a voyage to a new world this afternoon, as Kellen introduces Dvořák’s exuberant overture, Still’s big-hearted symphonic portrait of America, and Price’s gloriously tuneful concerto, with violinist Elena Urioste as soloist.
