Barber | School for Scandal Overture
Lee III | Piano Concerto
Grieg | Peer Gynt Suite
Fresh perspectives and lyrical storytelling take center stage in New Voices. Samuel Barber’s sparkling overture School for Scandal captures youthful wit and orchestral brilliance, setting the tone for the Georgia premiere of James Lee III’s Piano Concerto in A, featuring pianist Jeffrey Biegel. Lee’s work combines lush harmonies and rhythmic vitality with a distinctly American voice. The concert concludes with the beloved music of Grieg’s Pee Gynt Suite, whose vivid scenes – from “Morning Mood” to “In the Hall of the Mountain King” – evoke drama, beauty, and folklore.
