Ulysses Kay – Viola Sonata
Note from the Host: "This is violist Jay Julio and harpist Violetta Norrie writing to you from our residences in New York City. We're so excited to move into the new year with a duo concert – if you haven't been to one of our past viola-harp duo shows, you're in for a treat! It's a unique instrumentation, and we often feature pieces originally written for other forces. However, this time around, we'll stick a bit closer to some of the first sounds that brought this duo formation to fame, with turn-of-the-century English composer Arnold Bax's "Fantasy Sonata" starting us off. We'll then move to the music of a generation later and an ocean away, with the Viola Sonata by United States-based composer and longtime presence in the New York City compositional scene Ulysses Kay. We're thrilled to be the first harp-viola ensemble to try this work in this arrangement!"
The livestream will take place at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific.
