CLASSICAL ROOTS

Streaming: Saturday, March 1, at 8:00pm EST

Acclaimed composer Jessie Montgomery is one of today’s “most distinctive and communicative voices” (BBC). Experience two of her recent masterpieces. Co-commissioned by the DSO, "Snapshots" brims with “glowing washes and surges of sound,” ("Dallas Morning News"). Her Grammy Award-nominated "Rounds," played by virtuoso Awadagin Pratt, evokes imagery and themes from T. S. Eliot’s "Four Quartets." Opening the program is a world premiere by award-winning Detroit composer and trumpeter Kris Johnson.
