SPRING MUSICALE
The tradition of Sunday afternoon musicales in the late 19th century continued on May 7th as the spirited ArtsAhimsa ensemble with violinist Laura Jean Goldberg returned for its seventh season with chamber works and song from the repertoire of Antonín Dvořák, his contemporaries, and students. This year’s program included Dvořák’s String Sextet led by violinist Laura Bossert, a guitar transcription of Brahms’ Intermezzo Opus 117 with guitarist Tali Roth, composer Eric Ewazen’s Flute Sonata arranged for violin and piano, featuring Laura Goldberg, plus a Dvořák gem played by a young trio from The Juilliard School.
Soprano soloist Dr. Marti Newland performed art songs and a concert spiritual by composer and baritone Harry T. Burleigh, who as a student at the National Conservatory of Music of America in the 1890s, assisted and influenced Dvořák during his American residency.
