The acclaimed violinist and Avery Fisher career grant winner Njioma Grevious shares a deeply personal and intimate mediation on the theme of remembrance including works by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson and a new violin duo by CAG Alum Curtis Stewart (PUBLIQuartet, 2013) with the composer as guest performer. Each of these works are influenced by genres that were created by African Americans beginning in the 19th century, echoing themes of struggle, hopes, dreams, freedom and creativity. Grevious will also delve into a palette of emotions and reminiscence through Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata No. 2 and Mozart's Violin Sonata in E Minor K. 304. She will pair her musical offerings with audio visuals to provide a multi-sensory connection with the audience and window into some of her reflections.
