Our final concert of the season features three works covering a broad swath of the American continent and experience. We open with the lively Sinfonietta para Orquesta (1945) by Mexican composer/pianist/conductor José Pablo Moncayo. Our featured soloist, Sharon Bjorndal Lavery (a graduate of Clifton High School), will join the SOMA orchestra to perform the one-movement Piano Concerto (1934) of Florence Price, one of the first female symphonists in America. The concert will conclude with the Symphony No. 2 (1909) of New England composer Charles Ives, a heartfelt work of Yankee ingenuity, filled with quotations from American popular song, hymns, and folk music.
