Review

March 1, 2020 • Chicago Philharmonic
Moody 'Trisagion' the latest addition to Chicago Phil and Visceral Dance's developing friendship
Visceral Dance Chicago performed with the Chicago Philharmonic Society March 1 at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts.

"Of particular note, here and throughout the concert, the oft-unappreciated viola section is mightily featured, with sonorous solos for the principal violist, Claudia Lasareff-Mironoff, in the second piece: Grazyna Bacewicz’s 'Concerto for String Orchestra' (1948). This was a piece I had not heard, or heard of. Indeed, Speck’s introduction of it went so far as to guess it had not been played live in the Chicago area until now."

These beautifully crafted compositions are well suited for the combination of viola and voice and represent excellent additions to the recital repertoire.
