Details

Guest artists Alice Jones (flute) and Alexander Davis (bassoon) join the Holy Cross Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Carney, for the world premiere of Matthew Jaskot’s double concerto, By the Ocean in May. This piece was inspired by annual family trips to Cape Ann (Gloucester and Rockport, MA) taken to commemorate a moment of personal loss. The central focus of the work is to explore how the healing process evolves as time passes, and that overcoming grief is not a linear experience, but instead circular. The work includes many fascinating sonic representations of rays of light, sunsets, shades of cerulean, and prismatic ribbons which contrast with the boisterous and punchy second movement.
