Professor Lewis has written of the evening:
“Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to let you know about a wonderful concert that took place last week featuring our conservatory students (and I even got a chance to play). As a grand finale for the Ravel seminar I led this semester, we mounted an all-Ravel program that included major instrumental and vocal works as well as a world premiere by Alex Eisenhauer (the single exception to our theme). Alex wrote a special chamber piece that drew upon Ravelian devices and gestures but, in the end, sounded completely Eisenhauer. The music-making was of a high level and, given the difficulty of performing anything that Ravel wrote, this was quite an accomplishment. The entire concert proved an extremely satisfying experience and finale to the semester for all and showed off the conservatory’s talent in a most favorable light. Please look for an excerpt from the concert on our website.”
The concert, which ran just under two hours, was an inspiring and satisfying finale to a full school year and allowed the students an opportunity to truly shine.
