West Virginia Symphony: Celebrating Lyricism
October 17, 2014 — October 18, 2014
Charleston, Kanawha
October 17 & 18, 2014 at the Clay Center
Celebrating Lyricism
- Smetana: Overture to the Bartered Bride
- Byron Adams: Concerto for violoncello, Julie Albers, cello
- Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6
Maestro Cooper: “Two justifiably well-loved standards of the literature surround a work by one of my favorite living American composers, Byron Adams. Adams’ music has been featured on our programs before, as has the performance by wonderful guest cellist, Julie Albers.”
American cellist Julie Albers is recognized for her superlative artistry, her charismatic and radiant performing style, and her intense musicianship. She was born into a musical family in Longmont, Colorado and began violin studies at the age of two with her mother, switching to cello at four. She moved to Cleveland during her junior year of high school to pursue studies through the Young Artist Program at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where she studied with Richard Aaron. Miss Albers soon was awarded the Grand Prize at the XIII International Competition for Young Musicians in Douai, France, and as a result toured France as soloist with Orchestre Symphonique de Douai.
