The Composing Conductor

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Belgian composer Daniel Sternefeld was a promising composer, except he had one problem: he was an even more promising (and successful) conductor. It wasn't until his retirement from conducting in 1971 that he picked up his pen in full force; tonight we'll hear his charming orchestral setting of 16th-century motets, "Song and Dance at the Court of Mary of Burgundy."

Guitarist Norbert Kraft enlivens Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's "Homage to Boccherini" Sonata; preceded by Boccherini's own Symphony No. 3 in A (Adrian Shepherd leads the Catilena ensemble). Also, Dvorak's String Quintet in E-flat with the Raphael Ensemble and Mozart's Flute Quartet No. 1, featuring the versatile Carol Wincenc.
