January 29, 2018 – In keeping with the theme of the Bronx Arts Ensemble’s 2017-2018 concert season, Music Through a Global Lens, the Bronx Arts Ensemble (BAE) Woodwind Quintet presents a concert of folk dance arrangements in two locations in the Bronx. Performances by the Woodwind Quintet are on Saturday, February 10 at 7:30 pm at a Mott Haven Historic Home, 442 East 140th Street, and on Sunday, February 11th at 2 pm at Vladeck Hall, Amalgamated Houses, 74 Van Cortlandt Park South.
Latvian folk dances inspired Andrejs Jansons’ Suite of Old Lettish Dances, while Denes Agay’s Five Easy Dances includes a polka, tango, bolero, waltz and rumba. Other works on the concert are Vals Venezolano and Contradanza from Aires Tropicales by Paquito D’Rivera; Tango and Malaguena from Suite Espagñole by Isaac Albéniz; Three Moravian Dances by Leoš Janáček; and Three Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms.
All the Wings You Gave Us, a work by American composer Oliver Caplan commissioned by BAE, will receive its world premiere at the concert. It is a memorial to BAE’s Founder and leader for over 40 years, William Scribner, who passed away in 2016. “I scored the piece for woodwind quintet, the original instrumentation of the Bronx Arts Ensemble,” said Caplan, who holds a Special Citation for the American Prize in Orchestral Composition and seven ASCAP awards. “In reflecting on Bill’s legacy, I keep coming back to his tireless efforts to champion young artists. He was a mentor to me; his belief in my music and my experiences working with BAE helped nurture me.”
