The program will showcase a range of styles and influences, from the moody and tumultuous Dream and Variations by Dorothy Rudd Moore and the subtle jazz inflections of Guido's Hand: Five Pieces for Piano by George Walker, to spiky modern works by Jonathan Bailey Holland and Joyce Solomon Moorman, concluding with Regina Harris Baiocchi’s contemplative Azuretta. A reception will follow.
