Event description

PhiloMusica - Music and (New) World

This program fulfils our cancelled 2021 July 4 tribute to American Independence at the Kendall School of Arts featuring a program of music by Bernstein, Dvorak, Gershwin, Korngold and traditional music. Our friend Leslie Tan, renowned cellist of the Tan quartet returns to Kendall from Singapore to perform with pianist Jeanell Carrigan and violinist Goetz Richter in a superb program of popular music inspired by nature and truth.

The popular Kendall PhiloMusica series explores music in the context of a discussion of philosophical ideas. PhiloMusica on July 3 2022 will present the thought of Henry Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson – the nineteenth century New England Transcendalists who continued to powerfully influence social and ecological political movements throughout the twentieth century including movements of civil disobedience and the advancement of human rights. We will explore the topic of music and world in the pre-concert talk at 1 pm (free with concert ticket) on the day of performance.

Performance at 2 pm features

A. Dvorak, Sonatina op 100 for violin and piano

L. Bernstein, Piano Trio (1937)
