OUT OF THE DARKNESS - Annual Tom Keil Memorial ConcertSunday, September 29 @4 PM

Pre-concert talk @3:30 PM
Out of darkness comes light. The idea of “light” takes on multiple meanings in our season opening concert. The bright exuberance of the Jazz Age that followed World War I is brilliantly captured in Schulhoff’s Flute Sonata. Arvo Pärt Fratres and Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet simultaneously reflect and reject the restrictive Soviet dictatorship. Eastman’s Joy Boy exposes the contradiction of Black joy in the racial crucible of the American South of the 1970s.
Program
Erwin Schulhoff | Sonata for flute and piano
Arvo Pärt | Fratres, for string quartet
Julius Eastman | Joy Boy
Dmitri Shostakovich | Piano Quintet in G minor, op. 57
