Ralph Shapey
2009-2010 Season |
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 8:00 PM Miller Theatre |
Composer Portraits
Five for violin and piano (1960) Interchange (1996) Movements (1960) Etchings (1945) Concerto for Clarinet and Chamber Group (1954) Three for Six (1979) This performance is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission. Philadelphia-native Ralph Shapey (1921-2002) is truly a unique American voice. Also well-known as a conductor, he disregarded popular trends in composition and held the conviction that music, once created, should stand on its own. His music is tremendously difficult yet accessible, lyrical yet abrasive. A consortium of incredible artists join together to pay homage to this often-called "radical traditionalist." PLEASE NOTE: Free outdoor carillon performance of Ralph Shapey’s Sonance at 7:00PM has been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience. Click here to read this concert's full program notes. Major support for contemporary music programming is provided by the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, the Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trusts, and The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, Inc. |
