NYCP is thrilled to be at Brown University for a runout concert, featuring the Double Concerto No. 2 for Two Violas, by Eric Nathan, with celebrated violists Misha Amory and Hsin-Yun Huang as soloists. NYCP revisits Nathan's Omaggio a Gesualdo, which pays tribute to the renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo. The program opens with barrier-breaking composer William Grant Still's Mother and Child, an elegant, emotional portrayal of motherhood. Final piece on Schubert's beloved Death and the Maiden, known for its emotional depth and intensity.
