“I don’t separate the music from the world I live in. Every piece I play carries something of my story, and I hope it speaks to someone else’s.”— Jennifer Koh, The Strad Magazine
The American sound takes center stage in this richly textured program. Copland’s "Quiet City" captures the haunting solitude of urban life through the intimate voices of solo trumpet and English horn. Renowned violinist Jennifer Koh returns to Boulder for Barber’s Violin Concerto, a work of soaring lyricism and dazzling virtuosity. The evening culminates in William Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony—a powerful blend of African American spirituals and symphonic depth that delivers a stirring and triumphant finale.
