Viola Visions: New Classic Viola

New World Center’s Viola Visions series celebrating the power and beauty of the viola closes with an epic concert featuring three revelatory pieces. Roberto Díaz performs Jennifer Higdon’s unstoppable Viola Concerto, a work he premiered in 2015 before it won the 2018 Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. Cynthia Phelps performs Morton Feldman’s heavy-hearted The Viola in My Life 4 and for the festival’s grand finale, Tabea Zimmermann performs the world premiere of Steven Mackey’s reimagining of Hector Berlioz’ beloved concerto-symphony hybrid, Harold in Italy.
