Internationally Acclaimed Musician to Lead Park University's Music Center Orchestral Performance on March 4th
On March 4, the Park University International Center for Music will present its third concert of the 2021-22 season, and it promises to be a memorable event. The concert will take place inside the Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel on the University's flagship Parkville Campus, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The highlight of the concert will be the presence of the Grammy Award-winning conductor, John McLaughlin Williams. Known within the classical and American music community for his contributions as a conductor and violinist, Williams is celebrated for his conducting and recording work, particularly American music.
However, there appears to be a confusion between two individuals named John McLaughlin. The other John McLaughlin is a jazz fusion guitar player, known for collaborations with Miles Davis and bands like Shakti, but he is not a conductor and not associated with Grammy awards for conducting.
For those interested in John McLaughlin Williams, no specific details about his upcoming concerts or performance schedule are available, but his recordings have garnered significant recognition, including awards.
The Park University International Center for Music Orchestra's concert on March 4 will have a total of four selections. The programme includes Felix Mendelssohn's "String Symphony No. 13 (Symphoniesatz)," Jean Françaix's "Symphonie d'archets (Symphony of Bows)," George Frederick McKay's "Suite on 16th Century Hymn Tunes," and Frank Bridge's "Lament."
The "Lament" is a poignant piece, originally written in memory of a 9-year-old girl lost on the sinking of the Royal Mail Ship Lusitania in 1915. In this concert, it will be performed in memory of those who have passed away due to COVID-19.
Admission to the concert is free, but reservations are required by emailing Gus Fernandez Agreda at the website. Masks are required while inside the Chapel during the concert.
Don't miss this opportunity to experience the magic of classical music under the baton of a Grammy Award-winning conductor. For more updated and detailed information about John McLaughlin Williams's upcoming concerts and specific Grammy-winning performances, I recommend checking classical music concert schedules, his official website, or major classical music institutions and recording labels that feature his work.
