GPAC and Iris Collective present concerts of iconic chamber music works in an intimate, cabaret-style setting on the stage in the Highland Capital Performance Hall!
Renowned violinist, speaker, and author Vijay Gupta gives his Iris debut with a personal and collaborative program that connects masterworks of the past with the music of our time. Gupta is the founding artistic director of Street Symphony, a community of Los Angeles-based musicians creating performances, workshops, and new songs with neighbors recovering from addiction, homelessness, and incarceration. This performance begins with Bach’s masterpiece, the E Major Partita, with interstitial movements from Kurtag's '“Signs, Games and Messages” for solo violin. Also on the program is a movement of Darshan, written by internationally acclaimed Indian-American composer Reena Esmail. The evening culminates in a performance of the effervescent Beethoven Septet in E-flat Major with members of the Iris Collective. This program kicks off the Iris Collective’s collaboration with Hospitality Hub, a Memphis-based organization whose mission is to connect individuals with the resources they need to begin their journey out of homelessness.
Proudly brought to you by Lane Music, Dr. & Mrs. John Adams, Rick & Jill Broer, and Meryl Shahun Rosen.
