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.
Pre-concert event, 6.45pm
Join us for a special free performance in the foyer, given by talented young musicians from Create Music, part of Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival and the Hub Lead Organisation for the Sussex Music Hub.
