Julia Perry, Short Work for Orchestra
Edvard Grieg, Piano Concerto
Maurice Ravel, Ma mère l'oye (Mother Goose) Ballet
Ravel's Mother Goose began its life as a group of piano miniatures, which later were brilliantly orchestrated, and then finally expanded into the ballet score that we will present to you. It is a magical score filled with wonder on every page, and finishes with one of the most-profound climaxes of the 20th century. Grieg's Piano Concerto was to prove highly influential to impressionists such as Ravel, and its second movement is a heartfelt response to the birth of his daughter. I'm especially excited to present the work of Julia Perry, an African-American woman living in the mid-20th century, whose brilliantly-crafted music is a unique expression of neoclassical sensibilities distilled through the challenges she faced as a female composer of color in the United States

Elizabeth Dorman
Praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for her "elegance and verve," pianist Elizabeth Dorman enjoys performing music both new and old as a soloist and chamber musician.
