AMERICAN CONTRASTS: Saturday, September 21, 7 p.m.
The opening of the new season of our Concert Series features St. Bartholomew School Band Director, Shawn Bentz, in his trumpet recital, American Contrasts. Assisted by pianists Mirabella and Bogdan Minut and by their son, Andrei Minut on drums.
Mr. Bentz will present an all-American program by living composers who ‘paint’ with musical sounds a wide variety of contrasting tones portraying the complexity of the American landscape, be it natural, social, religious, or historical.
The first part of the program pays tribute to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, including lyrical and dramatic compositions for trumpet and piano by composer Eric Ewazen, while the second part presents a sacred repertoire arranged by famous trumpeter Phil Driscoll. The concert is free, donations are welcome.
