humor, personal perspectives on the music. The goal of the NCE is to build
a sense of closeness between performers and audience that enhances the
feeling of community and a deeper musical experience.
" In some places it
will be like a melancholic song, elsewhere like a merry dance; but, all
told, the style will be lighter...more popular, in short, so that it will
appeal to all.” The great Czech composer Antonin Dvorak, writing about the
"Dumky" Trio.
NCE artists joining
artistic director/violinist Leo Sushansky are Kathryn
Brake (piano), Uri Wassertzug (viola), Sean
Neidlinger (cello)
