Ritual Incantations

We attended primarily to hear the solo performance of Mike's former student, Mihai Marica, a Romanian cellist who took his undergraduate degree at SCSU while studying music at Yale.
The new music (commissioned through grants from Music Alive, a program from composers-in-residence) was the most interesting, though the peculiar Mozart was surprisingly structured. The Beethoven kept everyone around.

Jin Hi Kim, NORI III for Percussion Quartet and Electric Komungo
Augusta Read Thomas, Ritual Incantations for Cello and Orchestra
Mozart, Symphony No 32 in G major (K 318)
Beethoven, Symphony No 7 in A Major (Op 92)

Recommend.
