American Boulangerie: Philharmonia Northwest concert February 2, 2025 at Shorecrest PAC

Saturday, January 18, 2025

Perhaps the most influential music teacher in history, Nadia Boulanger taught over 600 American musicians through her seven-decade-long career.

Philharmonia Northwest celebrates her profound impact on our nation’s classical music with works by four of her most prominent U.S. alumni. 

The program begins with a world premiere orchestration of R. Nathaniel Dett’s dreamy, poetry-inspired Cinnamon Grove by WWU professor Dr. James Ray. 

Then, Virginia Elizondo, a “young, blooming, dramatic soprano,” joins the orchestra as soloist on Samuel Barber’s swooning Knoxville Summer of 1915. 

The orchestra explores a duo of short works by pianist-composer Mary Howe before presenting a rare visitor to the concert hall: the complete ballet score to Aaron Copland’s landmark, Appalachian Spring.
