Program Notes

 Chevalier de St. Georges, nicknamed the “black Mozart”, was an accomplished statesman, athlete, and musician in 18th century Paris.  Eleanor Alberga, Valerie Coleman and Wayne Wallace  are accomplished 21st century performers and composers whose wonderful music reflects their diverse backgrounds.  Two world premieres, two top-notch young soloists, and a cameo appearance by the “real” Mozart make this a wide-ranging and fascinating program .
