BCB Explores War and Dance
Exploring the explosive energy and constant conflict which infuses the creativity of motion and the destructive capacity of war.
BCB is proud to present the US premiere of Christopher Gough's Lexington and Concord.
Set in 4 movements, it vividly depicts elements of life in the colonies that would lead to the start of the American Revolution. The work takes us through the growing unrest among the colonies and builds from there until war was inevitable. Rumor, gossip, and intrigue lead to a hymnlike rallying cry for quartet. Finally, the war itself, complete with the sounds of alarm, galloping horses, and approaching armies, ending with echoes from the beginning of the conflict.
Saturday's performance also features the music of Bernstein, Borodin, Saint-Saens.
Free concert. Donations are Suggested.
