Music Street instrumentalists and vocalists will bring another of their colorful themed programs to the West Tisbury library on Saturday, March 30, at 4 pm, providing historical and musical information for their early spring concert, “Mood Swings.”
The performance centers on Dvorak’s “Dumky” Piano Trio, a piece of folk song with “mood swings.”
Interspersed will be a virtuosic Chopin work for cello and piano, lush Brahms, a mystical contemporary work of Islamic spirituality, a string duo, and a rousing, jazzy cello solo that straddles the musical border of classical and contemporary improvisation.
In addition to libraries and concert halls, Music Street’s awardwinning graduates of Boston’s New England Conservatory perform in hospitals, arts schools, shelters, retirement communities, and more.
This concert will feature Canadian violinist Sophia Szokolay, who has appeared as a soloist with orchestras throughout the Northeastern U.S., Canada, and Hungary, and frequently performs with the Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra, among others.
Cellist Noah Lee has been a soloist with the Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra, Ensemble 212, Lausanne Sinfonietta, the Zagreb Soloists, the Russian State Orchestra, and the Princeton Symphony Orchestra. He has also been heard on the syndicated NPR program “From the Top,” and European radio stations.
Music Street founder, educator, and pianist Diane Katzenberg Braun is a current staff collaborative pianist at the New England Conservatory. She performs a wide repertoire, from winds to brass to strings, and accompanies in voice studios. As the founder and artistic director of Music Street, Braun aims to share the joy and innovation of unique musical programs, to connect with audiences in the many venues where they appear.
