Daraja Ensemble: American Inspired

Daraja performs uniquely original works by American composers that reflect the spirit of our culture: individualistic expression, diversity and cultural assimilation. 

Daraja Ensemble Recital #2

Daraja has the distinct honor to share the stage with faculty member Rita Sloan for Poulenc’s Sextet for Piano and Winds. Also featured on the program are a fascinating but rather unknown quintet by the 20th-century Norwegian composer Johan Kvandal, a transcription of a Bach Sinfonia in b minor from his Cantata BWV 209 “Non sa che sia dolore,” and the final quintet of Franzi Danzi, Op. 68 no.3 in d minor.
