ENCORE BSO RECITALS, AVAILABLE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, STARTING AT NOON
This program of horn-centric music features not only the standard orchestral French horn but also its cousin, the long alphorn of Swiss, German, and Austrian tradition. BSO Associate Principal Horn Richard Sebring and colleague Michael Winter perform Sebring's own new composition for alphorns to start this program. The second Sebring work is a duet for horn and harp with former TMC Fellow Charles Overton that was written in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. "The important thing was that what we created was of this moment and it was honest," said Overton to the Boston Herald. "For me it felt like less of a political statement or artistic statement and more like therapy. It helped me reconnect with music in a really meaningful way."
Standard-repertoire horn pieces by Schumann, Dukas, and Mozart-including the substantial Quintet in E-flat for horn and strings-complete the program.
