The last free livestream concert of the season features our very own principal flute Sue Makeever, sharing her interpretation of J.S. Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 2. Opening this program is a contemporary work, Strum, by African American composer Jessie Montgomery. This piece was described by The Washington Post as “…wildly colorful and exploding with life.” To conclude the concert, we explore the genius of a young Felix Mendelssohn who wrote twelve string symphonies between 1821-1822. You will listen in awe to his Sinfonia No. 7 when the realization hits that he was only 13 years of age at the completion of this work.
