A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...A musical tapestry depicting the many sounds of American classical music, including classically-framed infusions of soul, bluegrass, jazz, blues, and elements of rag, American Form/s opens with a riveting movement by 19th-century pianist, composer, singer, and conductor Teresa Carreño. Additional concepts of American music are explored in Derrick Skye’s multifaceted and optimistic American Mirror, Part One; renowned violinist-composer Curtis Stewart’s Drill, whose work for prepared drumset and strings is his “summer music,” “hunter’s call,” and “field recording”; the Overture from Treemonisha, written by foundational ragtime composer Scott Joplin and newly arranged by Jannina Norpoth; and an imaginative nod to Joplin by celebrated film composer, educator and advocate Levi Taylor that is meant to embody the bold, ambitious, and authentic expression in Joplin’s music. The American Form/s tour will also include Juantio Becenti’s Hané for String Quartet and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Novelletten for strings….”
