Bach and Brahms built a tradition. Two American-born composers—Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson and Amy Beach—made it unmistakably their own. Tonight, our Artists-in-Residence trace a musical inheritance across centuries and oceans.

About the concert

Traditions don’t stand still, they travel, and they transform. Bach’s chorales crossed the Atlantic in the hymnals of German immigrants. Brahms absorbed that tradition and made it burn with Romantic intensity. Then two American composers claimed that inheritance as their own: Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson wove the spiritual “Calvary” into a string quartet of profound craft and beauty, and Amy Beach took the language of Brahms and forged a Piano Quintet every bit its equal. Our Artists-in-Residence perform music that spans centuries and crosses oceans.
