On September 21, 2016, Symphony Space in New York City will host a concert of music composed by Elliott Schwartz, Robert K. Beckwith Professor of Music Emeritus, celebrating his eightieth birth year.
Seven of Schwartz’s compositions will be performed, including “Remembering David” (a chamber quartet in memory of David Gamper ’67, incorporating fragments of electronic music Gamper composed as a Bowdoin undergraduate); “The Seven Seasons” for piano solo, performed by George Lopez; and the multimedia work “Darwin’s Dream,” which combines electronic sounds, live violin performance, and images of visual art created Schwartz’s late wife Dorothy Schwartz H’04.
Symphony Space is located at 95th and Broadway and the show, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 7:30 pm.
