SERENADES
Bagaduce Music Benefit - David’s Folly Farm, Brooksville
Wednesday, July 29
5p Golden Hour - Mingle and enjoy artisan charcuterie, local oysters, and wine, followed by Tinder Hearth wood-fired pizza and seasonal salad
7p Concert- Serenades program from Palaver Strings
This program explores the serenade through a broad lens, across genres, eras, and styles in a changing world. At its heart is Josef Suk’s Serenade for Strings. We juxtapose this Romantic classic with Carlos Simon’s Between Worlds, a meditative work inspired by visual artist Bill Traylor, whose life and work spanned the end of slavery through the beginning of the Civil Rights movement. In our arrangement, different string parts “serenade” one another antiphonally across the ensemble. Ravel’s Trois Chansons, written at the outbreak of World War I, reflects on loss of life, innocence, and continuity in a changing world. Our arrangement of Laurie Anderson’s O Superman, fused with the third movement of Bach’s A Minor Violin Sonata, explores human relationships with machines and with one another. The program concludes with modern-day “moonlit serenades” by Glen Miller. Serenades is a musical call for a new and brighter world.

Between Worlds (2019) - Carlos Simon (b. 1986) arr. Teagan Faran
