Joseph Schwantner was BMV’s unofficial composer in residence in its earliest years. The
composer uses shared monody to brilliant effect in his angular Elixir. David Rakowski’s world
premiere Mikronomicon is a chamber concerto featuring BMV pianist Geoffrey Burleson.
Composer Chris Arrell is a composition faculty member at the College of the Holy Cross in
Worcester, MA. His work, NARCISSUS/echo, receives its Boston premiere. Arranged for
chamber ensemble by BMV Music Director Richard Pittman, Charles Ives’s Five Street Songs features mezzo-soprano Pamela Dellal.

This concert has been made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts as part of "American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius."
