Blair Faculty Signature Series
Blair Composers
Join us for a delightful evening of music written by Blair faculty composers and performed by their colleagues. The program will include the world premiere of Burlesques before the Ark, a piano quartet composed by Michael Alec Rose. The Blakemore Trio and guest violist Kathryn Plummer will give the world premiere of Rose’s piano quartet, whose title is inspired by the wild dance of King David from II Samuel 6:14, and its even wilder rabbinical interpretation.
