In the Kaleidoscope: Music of Sean Shepherd
The Claremont Trio | Miranda Cuckson, violin | Liang Wang, oboe | Aaron Wunsch, piano
After recent premieres by the New York Philharmonic and the Cleveland Orchestra, Sean Shepherd has emerged as one of the most prominent young American composers. At once rigorous and playful, Sean’s music has captivated audiences with its “kaleidoscopic use of orchestral color” (New York Times). Join Sean, the Claremont Trio (“inspired,” L A Times), violinist Miranda Cuckson (“striking”, New York Times), pianist Aaron Wunsch, and Liang Wang, principal oboe of the New York Philharmonic, for this musical exploration.
