Conrad Tao has emerged at twenty-eight as one of the most thoughtful and broad-minded artists of our time. A brilliant pianist, violinist, and composer, Tao is an effortlessly engaging raconteur—as comfortable talking about video games, query theory, and dark corners of the internet—as he is about music.
How do we transform and transcend loss as we grieve? The violinist and composer Curtis Stewart spent four years caring for his cancer-stricken mother, a composer and violinist herself. His latest album, of Love., is a personal requiem and tender tribute to his mother's memory. This concert brings together excerpts from Stewart’s album and Grieg's buoyant yet nostalgic Holberg Suite, and also features Missy Mazzoli's gothic and shadowy violin concerto, Dark with Excessive Bright.
