Folk Memory and Modern Voice -

Grieg, Elgar, and Bartok

Amy Cralle Theater at

The Wyatt Center for the Arts

Bellarmine University

Grieg - Holberg Suite

Elgar - Serenade for Strings

Bartok - Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste

We will be tackling three monumental works, including Bartok's incredible Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste. This concert is an exploration of how each composer draws from his homeland's folk idioms - Grieg's neo-Baroque homage infused with Norwegian dance rhythms, Elgar's lyrical English melancholy, and Bartók's modernist transformation of Eastern European folk songs - into something new, modern, romantic, deeply touching, and excitingly avant garde. Bartok's work is one seeing the composer at the absolute height of his powers - a tour de force of musical virtuosity not to be missed!

ALL PUBLIC CONCERTS ARE FREE, WITH VOLUNTARY SUGGESTED DONATION ($40 adults, $10 students). Please register your attendance so we can reserve a spot for you and be prepared to serve you best!
