Jessie Montgomery*+ – Banner
Ralph Vaughan Williams – Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
W.A. Mozart – Sinfonia concertante in E-flat major, K.364/320d
NOCCO’s 10th Anniversary Season opens with Jessie Montgomery’s Banner, a dynamic and vibrant reimagining of the national anthem that seamlessly blends elements of jazz, classical, and African American spirituals, creating a powerful and contemporary statement. Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis follows. This lush and evocative piece will envelope you in its rich harmonies and serene, meditative string textures. The performance will conclude with Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major, where the interplay between the solo violin and viola, supported by the orchestra, showcases Mozart’s masterful ability to balance elegance and emotional depth. Soloists Elisa Barston (violin) and Susan Gulkis Assadi (viola) will leave you in awe with their technical prowess and expressive sensitivity.
