SWEET POWER (Music of Dvorak, Florence Price, and Kodaly with guests artists Hilary Walther Cumming, violin; Duncan Cumming, piano and Andrew Snow, viola. Featuring Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz, violin and Petia Kassarova, cello). Friday, February 9th at 7pm, Carl Taylor Auditorium, Schenectady County Community College. Dvorak’s rapturous piano quintet composed in 1887 is the centerpiece of this program. Full of Bohemian melodies and dance rhythms, the piece is a glorious musical journey from beginning to end. We have paired it with the Five Folksongs (or Spirituals) in Counterpoint of Florence Price, the first African-American women to be recognized as a major symphonic composer, her works were premiered by the Chicago Symphony and the WPA Orchestra, among others. The concert opens with the lovely Intermezzo for string trio of Zoltan Kodaly. This concert will also be performed at the University at Albany on February 7th.
