Our second episode of Mosaics features a tribute to cellist Lynn Harrell, who passed earlier this week at the age of 76.
In 2015, Harrell spent a week with Polyphony in Israel, during which time the Galilee Chamber Orchestra was honored to perform Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major with him, a highlight of which is included for your pleasure.
This week also includes a performance by two of our Scholar-in-Residence Ensembles participants. Samir Ghrayeb on clarinet and Eleraz Pevzner on cello play a piece written in 1994 by French composer Guillaume Connesson entitled “Disco-Toccata.”
We are happy to share messages from Conservatory parents, students, and teachers about their experiences studying music during this time.
The episode concludes with a duet from sisters and Conservatory students Rama Abu Rass (French horn) and Mila Abu Rass (piano) by Craig Alan entitled “Ancient Towers.”
