True to MusicaNova’s mission, the program pairs overlooked gems with inventive modern works, revealing how composers across centuries have drawn on Baroque forms to create something new. Each piece reflects a dialogue between past and present, honoring tradition while pushing musical boundaries.<\/p>\n
The concert features guest soloist Peter Eom, a Phoenix native and graduate of Highland High School, on cello. An internationally recognized artist, Eom is known for pushing classical music beyond traditional concert formats. He is the creator and director of PRIMORDIAL, an interdisciplinary performance project that merges contemporary cello, avant-garde fashion, and modern dance and is set to debut at New York Fashion Week in 2027. A former United States Presidential Scholar in the Arts, Eom has appeared as a soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra, Phoenix Symphony, and MusicaNova Orchestra.<\/p>\n
Eom is featured in Giovanni Solima’s L.B. Files for Cello and Ensemble, a virtuosic work inspired by 18th-century composer and cellist Luigi Boccherini. Solima employs modern techniques to propel Boccherini’s music into striking new sonic territory.<\/p>\n
The program also includes Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson<\/a>‘s Sinfonietta No. 2 for Strings, \u201cGenerations,\u201d an unjustly neglected masterpiece that intertwines the BACH motif with the American folk song Mockingbird. Lera Auerbach’s Dialogues on Stabat Mater offers a contemporary reflection on Pergolesi’s sacred work, reimagined through a modern emotional lens.<\/p>\n
