In PersonAmerican Mosaics: Neave Trio
7:15-7:50pm Pre-event reception
7:50-7:58pm Guest are seated in Fraser Performance Studio
8:00-9:00pm Live performance in Fraser Performance Studio
The two-time Grammy-nominated Neave Trio closes out GBH Music’s 2025-2026 season with "American Mosaics," a program celebrating the diverse voices that have shaped, and been shaped by, American musical traditions. As a musical cornerstone of America 250, the concert contributes to GBH’s organization-wide examination of national identity leading up to and beyond the semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026. The performance explores the uniquely American sound of composer Aaron Copland and his influential teacher, Rubin Goldmark, and introduces the Boston premiere of "A Vast Palette," a new work by Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer Jennifer Higdon. The concert opens with works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, a Black British composer who drew deep inspiration from African American spirituals, and closes with pieces by Astor Piazzolla, whose nuevo tango style was informed by his upbringing in New York City during the height of the Jazz Age. “American Mosaics" is hosted by Brian McCreath, host of CRB's Boston Symphony broadcasts. The performance will be recorded for future broadcast on GBH 2 and as part of In Concert on CRB Classical 99.5. The program is funded by the Mattina R. Proctor Foundation.
