Colin McPhee

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
One of the first musicians to engage in ethnomusicological studies, Canadian composer and musicologist Colin McPhee (1900-1964) incorporated elements of world music into his art long before it was fashionable. We mark the anniversary of his birth with several works throughout the evening. Also, the Bagatelles of Ukranian contemporary composer Valentin Silvestrov (as performed on the piano by Silvestrov himself), plus offerings by Maurice Ravel, John Luther Adams, and Eric Whiteacre.
