Libby Gray, flute, and Julie Ives, piano, present a recital of music chosen to reflect the turmoil and grace of the human experience during the recent pandemic. Featuring music from Sofia Gubaidulina, Cathy Collinge Herrera, Charles Ives, Allison Loggins-Hull, Joseph Schwantner, William Grant Still, and Toru Takemitsu, this program presents meditations on nature and the African American experience from a broad spectrum of 20th- and 21st-century composers.
