Dawn’s Early Light: Barber’s Cello Concerto | Adella

ALLISON LOGGINS-HULL Can You See? [World Premiere; TCO Commission] BARBER Cello Concerto “Can You See?”, an evocative new work by Allison Loggins-Hull, and Barber’s technically demanding and infinitely rewarding Cello Concerto, performed by the virtuosic Alisa Weilerstein, take center stage in this captivating program, conducted by Music Director Franz Welser-Möst with The Cleveland Orchestra. Prior to the debut of her orchestral piece, we visit flutist-composer Loggins-Hull in her Montclair, New Jersey, home to hear about her musical path, her creative process, and how current events inspired her musical consideration of the promise of the American National Anthem. In Cleveland, Weilerstein joins Loggins-Hull, the Orchestra’s current Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow, to exchange notes about the program and share their experiences as working and touring mothers in the field of classical music.
