This program is inspired by our city and the geography that has influenced this region of the world. The "Mighty Mississippi" and the Big Muddy Missouri rivers join in a confluence just to the north of modern day St. Louis, creating a historic meeting and trading community sharing cultures and ideas. Celebrating this spirit, the music in this program melds equally rich ideas coming together to shape a new sound.William Grant Still combines sounds from Africa with the European classical tradition to create music uniquely American in Ennanga. St. Louis composer Kim Portnoy playfully manipulates the tunefulness of musical theater into a traditional violin sonata in From an Imaginary Musical. Martin, decades earlier, successfully blends jazz with his Bohemian roots in Chamber Music No. 1. Missouri native, Shelley Washington brings us all closer to home in her string quartet, Middleground.
