2nd Live Bay Atlantic Symphony Concert at Cape May Music Festival

The Bay Atlantic Symphony and the New York Chamber Ensemble perform live at the Cape May Music Festival.  As a Memoriam for those lost to COVID-19, the Concert opens with the somber Elegy Op.24 for Cello and Strings written in 1880 by Gabriel Urbain Fauré, a French composer whose musical style influenced many 20^th-century composers.  Danzas de Panama for String Quartet, which African American Composer William Grant Still premiered in 1948, is the second piece. It is known for Spanish and Amerindian elements “dances” that are filled with ingenious details.  Suite in A Minor for Flute and Strings by Georg Philipp Telemann, a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist from the mid-1700s, is the final piece, the composer’s most widely performed composition.
