2011 – Shostakovich, Mozart and Friends

Colin Laursen and his string quartet perform the Shostakovich 8th

On June 3, 2011, we presented Shostakovich, Mozart and Friends: An Evening of Celebration. This tribute to our senior students Emma Armstrong-Carter and Colin Laursen included both masterworks and premieres.

 

The premieres included a piano fugue by Colin Laursen, three spicy clarinet solos entitled “Colors” by Abe Lange, the wonderfully wild “The State of Time” for flute, violin and piano by Michael Jon Bennett and the exuberant and moving “Native American Suite” by Gabe Crist for four flutes, violin, pipe organ, two violas, two acoustic guitars, table drum, and sleigh bells.

A superb performance of Shostakovich’s 8th String Quartet brought shafts of setting sun and a standing ovation to the close of the first half.

All throughout high school, pianist Emma Armstrong-Carter loved playing Mozart!  She played all his solos sonatas and all of the four-handed pieces with her teacher, Julie Harris.

So it was fitting that at her graduation concert, we finished the program with her favorite composer.

Mozart’s delightful four-handed Andante with Variations completed the concert with musical laughter and fun.

Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
