About
SPCO cellist Richard Belcher curates a program exuding
drama that includes a Midwest premiere written by Grammy award-winning jazz
pianist Billy Childs. The concert’s titular work, a passionate four-movement
chamber work written by Leoš Janácek, takes its name and themes from Leo
Tolstoy’s novella, which itself took its name from Ludwig van Beethoven’s Kreutzer
Violin Sonata. The piece paints a story of a young woman and her psychological
torment as told through the intimacy of a string quartet.
Each Moment Is a New Discovery was co-commissioned by Orpheus Chamber
Orchestra and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra with generous support from Carl
Voss and Linda Hoeschler in honor of Daniel Avchen.
