Julie Albers Plays Haydn’s Cello Concerto in D
Ruth Crawford Seeger composed Suite
for Wind Quintet in 1952, 16 years since writing any significant compositions
and a year before she died from cancer. Principal Cello Julie Albers takes the
spotlight in Franz Joseph Haydn’s Cello Concerto in D, the second of two cello
concertos composed twenty years apart. Written in dedication to and in
competition with his close friend Mieczysław Weinberg, Dmitri Shostakovich’s
String Quartet No. 10 will be performed in an arrangement for Chamber Symphony.
