Heritage and Home
Enjoy both Marcy Rosen’s bravura performance of Beethoven’s fifth cello sonata as well as Tara Helen O’Connor’s highly virtuosic reading of Gabriel Fauré’s competition piece, Fantasie for Flute and Piano. Experience Kian Ravaei’s 2023 composition Gulistan (“Flower Garden”), a work that interweaves songs that represent his “hyphenated identity:” American by birth and Iranian by heritage. Finally, delight in the warm and immensely appealing Brahms’s String Sextet No. 1, written at age 17.
