Concordia Chamber Players Open Rehearsal
2024-11-02 15:30 - 17:00
We’re excited to share that Concordia Chamber Players will host a free open rehearsal at 3:30 PM on Saturday, Nov. 2. During the rehearsal, the community can enjoy meeting the performers while watching and listening as they prepare for the concert the following day.
Concordia Chamber Players will perform from their upcoming concert program, Home. It features three works exploring the many meanings of home.
The lack of home or longing for one is tenderly portrayed in the string quartet bearing the title of Home, written by Pulitzer Prize and Grammy Award-winning composer Kevin Puts. Then there’s the home of understanding one’s cultural and racial identity. Might Call You Art for soprano and string quartet is written by Emmy Award-winning composer Jasmine Arielle Barnes. The title comes from the last poem in this four-movement song cycle setting of the poetry of East Cleveland native King Weatherspoon. Finally, the return to one’s home or birthplace in the String Quartet in G Major #13, Opus 106 by Czech composer Antonin Dvořák, the first work to be written entirely in his native country once Dvořák had returned home from the United States.
Concordia Chamber Players was founded in 1997 in New Hope, Pennsylvania by Artistic Director and cellist Michelle Djokic. Concordia seeks to engage and enrich the communities of Bucks County and the surrounding areas by presenting world-class chamber musicians to perform the masterworks of the repertoire, lesser-known gems, and works by emerging composers.
