Violin Sonata at Symphony Space

Richard D. Russell — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:47:00 +0000

Here are several pics from the¬†¬†Saturday, February 14 performance of my Violin Sonata at Symphony Space. The concert was presented by the New York Composers Circle, and is their custom, I was asked to say a few words before my piece started.

Superlatives are not strong enough to represent the outstanding effort these musicians put into this virtuoso tour de force. The piece was selected to close the evening, and Stanichka Dimitrova and Bethany Porter delivered the goods. Here are several pics (click image for larger view).

Three Elegies at Symphony Space

Three Elegies received its second performance on March 9, 2007 at the Thalia at Symphony Space in New York City, in a concert presented by the New York Composers Circle. The performers were Aurora Borealis, the new music duo comprised of soprano Tiffany DuMouchelle and percussionist Stephen Solook. All credit goes to the performers for finding the composition‚Äôs themes of loss, meaning, and acceptance.
