The South Florida premiere of the chamber music of the British-American composer, Rebecca Clark, will be celebrated at a special concert at 7:30 PM on November 13, 2009, at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Coconut Grove.
The music of Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979) has become increasingly well-known in recent years. She attended the Royal Academy of Music and was an acclaimed violist in England as well as a composer. She collaborated with many well-known English poets and musicians. Much of her later work was written and performed in the U.S. Her music spans a range of styles and is known for its lyricism, passion and power.
This concert will provide an opportunity to hear Rebecca Clarke’s songs and chamber pieces performed by award-winning musicians who have toured extensively, and to hear introductory remarks by Liane Curtis, music critic and authority on Clarke’s work.
