Among the many emotions that music visits, nostalgia is its most poignant destination. In this concert we explore the many longings that composers have brought to life: from a Beethoven confessional, the iconic Piano Sonata in E major Op. 109, to Debussy’s otherworldly and alluring Six Èpigraphes Antiques, and to the romantic passion and heartbreak of Songs of Laurence Hope by African-American composer H. T. Burleigh. We will also present selections from Ten Blake Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams and a new premiere, also on texts of Laurence Hope, by local composer Chris Pratorius Gómez. Performers include tenor Andrew Scott Carter, violist Polly Malan, pianist Kiko Torres Velasco and the composer/concert director, also on piano.
