Internationally renowned Grammy Award winner scheduled to lead Park University's International Center for Music orchestra during March 4 performance.
The Park University International Center for Music (ICM) Orchestra is set to present its third concert of the 2021-22 season on March 4, 2022, at the Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel on the University's flagship Parkville Campus. This concert will be under the direction of the Grammy Award-winning guest conductor, John McLaughlin Williams.
John McLaughlin Williams is a renowned figure in the classical music world, known for his distinguished work as a conductor, violinist, pianist, and chamber musician. He has received acclaim for his conducting work, although he is distinct from John McLaughlin, the jazz fusion guitarist.
The concert will feature a blend of captivating pieces, including Jean Françaix's "Symphonie d'archets (Symphony of Bows)," a virtuosic composition, and George Frederick McKay's "Suite on 16th Century Hymn Tunes."
In addition to these pieces, the ICM Orchestra will perform Frank Bridge's "Lament," a poignant composition originally written in memory of a 9-year-old girl lost on the sinking of the Royal Mail Ship Lusitania in 1915. For this performance, the ICM Orchestra is remembering those who have passed away due to COVID-19.
The concert will also include the National Song of the Cayman Islands, a piece arranged by Williams himself, which is used at public events in the British Overseas Territory.
Masks are required while inside the Chapel during the concert, and reservations are essential. You can reserve your spot by emailing Gus Fernandez Agreda at Park University's website. Admission to the concert is free.
