Williams Ballads for Orchestra
Salina Fisher | Violin Concerto [World Premiere]
Anna Semple | The Gates
Julia Wolfe | Pretty
In our annual ‘Grace’ series exploring both the music of Grace Williams and modern women in music, this November we showcase works by living composers Salina Fisher, Anna Semple and Julia Wolfe, all under the baton of Stephanie Childress.
Written for the Malcolm Street Orchestra, Anna Semple’s The Gates plays with the ideas of recall and memory, specifically the musical illustration of an image of a set of gates seen up close, then reimagined from afar but not remembered exactly. Julia Wolfe’s Pretty is inspired by the distortions and reverberations of rock and roll and is a raucous celebration of the connotations of what being “pretty” means; and we delve into the world premiere of Salina Fisher’s Violin Concerto performed by the sublime Geneva Lewis. But first we turn to the series’ namesake, Grace Williams and her Ballads for Orchestra.
