The Chamber Music of William Bolcom
March 14, 2003 at 7:30 PM
Kaul Auditorium, Reed College, Portland
As a prelude to Portland Opera’s production of “A View From The Bridge” by Pulitzer-Prize winner William Bolcom, we’ll collaborate with POC artists Carol Lucas and Diane Syrcle in a concert of the composer’s chamber music. Bolcom’s catalogued works contain perhaps more variety than any other living composer.
William Bolcom:
- Cabaret Songs
- Capriccio for cello and piano
- Graceful Ghost Variation
- Dark Music
- Piano Quintet
