Music Hub | Feb 16, 2015

EVENT: Music Monday at Advent-Broadway Church

100 years ago, Claude Debussy decided to write six large sonatas that would feature a rotating variety of instruments. But the great French composer only finished three before he died a few years later. Here’s a bit of the last one he completed: Debussy’s “Sonata for Violin and Piano.”

Tonight, three contemporary composers pick up where Debussy left off, with premieres of adventurous sonatas written for bassoon, trumpet, harpsichord and more.
