MUSIC; Connecticut Composers At Work: 3 Premieres
1994
Overview
Three local premieres are among the entries: Elizabeth Lauer's \"Diamonds: Double Solitaire for Xylophone and Piano,\" Eugenie Rocherolle's Piano Sonata No. 2, and Constance Walton's \"Momentous Moments\" for voice, flute and piano. Three songs by Lauriston Avery and Joe Utterback, plus another by Winifred Keane, round out the program. Ms. Walton, Ms. Avery and Ms. Keane, from Greenwich, Rowayton and Westport respectively, are among the 18 performers; for more details, call 762-2020. At 8 P.M. on Friday, Stanley Dural -- better known as the master accordionist and four-time Grammy award nominee, Buckwheat Zydeco -- brings his band to the Regina A. Quick Center at Fairfield University, the concert followed by a Mardi Gras-flavored dance party. Zydeco itself refers to the exuberant dance music of southwestern Louisiana's backwater region, but by applying the style to music by Hank Williams, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, among others, Mr. Dural blurs geographical and generational lines. \"I want to take zydeco accordion to another dimension,\" he said, \"to make it available to as wide an audience as possible, to bring everyone together so they can have fun at the same time\" (254-4010). Youth has its musical say this afternoon at a 3 o'clock concert in Frank Scott Bunnell High School featuring all three of the ensembles operating under the banner of the Greater Bridgeport Symphony Youth Orchestras: the string orchestra under Alfred Anderson, the concert orchestra led by John Hanulik, and the principal orchestra, directed by Robert Genualdi. Even the guest soloist, Scott St. John, is only 23 years old, and when the young Canadian displays his versatility, playing both Telemann's Viola Concerto and Saint-Saens's Rondo Capriccioso for violin, he'll be fulfilling one of the visions of the program. \"This type of exposure provides the highest quality musical experience for the students,\" Mr. Genualdi said, \"and is an extension of the regional orchestra's commitment to education and development.\" Tickets will be available at the door, or call 375-2686.
