Professor of violin James Stern and pianist Audrey Andrist perform the world-premiere of a composition by Dana Wilson titled Of my dream before me…. This piece was inspired by the Langston Hughes poem "As I Grew Older." Rounding out the program will be works by Mozart, William Grant Still and Grażyna Bacewicz.

Program:

William Grant Still: Suite

I. Majestically. Vigorously (suggested by Richmond Barthe’s “African Dancer”)
II. Slowly and expressive (suggested by Sargent Johnson’s “Mother and Child”)
III. Rhythmically and humorously (suggested by Augusta Savage’s “Gamin”)

Grażyna Bacewicz: Sonata No. 4

I. Moderato. Allegro non troppo
II. Andante ma non troppo
III. Scherzo. Molto vivo
