Two concerts re happening this weekend, that we wanted to be sure to mention – because we always love to highlight important programming!
The brilliant pianist Asiya Korepranova brings Amy Beach’s Piano Concerto to life this weekend in Abilene, TX!! The concert takes place Sat. Jan. 17 – here’s the website of the Abilene Philharmonic, and tickets are here. And we’ve written about the piano concerto here, and here we provide links to her own three songs that Beach drew upon in writing her concerto.

And, on Sunday, Jan. 18th, our friends at the Michigan Phil include Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps (“Of a spring morning,” from 1917) as well as two recent works by the versatile and popular composer Soon Hee Newbold, Battle (2023) and Alis Volat Propriis (She Flies with Her Own Wings) (2024). Pictured below is conductor and Music Director Nan H. Washburn. We’d tell you to go, but it’s SOLD OUT! :-O So have a listen to Alis Volat Propriis here!!!
