Kassia Ensemble
Kassia Ensemble returns to the Resonance Chamber Series at Bar Marco on Tuesday, February 11th, 2020 at 7 pm. In a program of primarily women composers from the 20th and 21st centuries, Kassia offers a listening opportunity different from any in Pittsburgh!
In a nod to Kassia’s namesake, the program begins with a cello solo by Margarita Zelenaia, a Russian composer, who has based her composition off of Byzantine chants.
Next up is a piece by French composer Ida Gotkovsky for clarinet and harp. Taking her inspiration from the Aeolian scale, this four-movement work, Eolienne, compels the listener to take a journey from a lush soundscape to a piquant stuttering waltz and beyond.
Concluding the program is American composer Jennifer Higdon’s Southern Harmony. From soaring string writing reminiscent of Barber’s Knoxville, Summer 1915 to Appalachian dances this three-movement work speaks directly to Pittsburgh’s musical roots.
All proceeds from this concert will be donated to Kassia’s bassist, Amanda Rice-Johnston, who is currently recovering from a brain aneurysm.
