Event Information
Description
We begin with Aaron Copland’s In the Beginning, a seminal work by the composer most commonly credited with establishing an ‘American’ sound. But in this towering and difficult-to-classify work, Copland turns to origins and beginnings. Next we perform Ted Hearne’s Privilege (2009), a collection of five short pieces that address socio-economic inequality and conclude with a tribute to the power of music to fight oppression. The program culminates in the premiere of a new work by Indian American composer Juhi Bansal. Hailed as a “composer to watch” by The Washington Post and “radiant and transcendent” by New Classic LA, Bansal explores the themes of cultural and musical diversity and the environment in her works.
