Ewazen, Eric: Concerto

for Violin and String Orchestra

Ewazen ended his tenure as Composer-in-Residence with Saint Luke's Chamber Ensemble (NY) with his Concerto for Violin, premiered by that ensemble with violinist Krista Feeney as soloist. A subsequent recording by the International Sejong Soloists had rave reviews, including, "it was like a long, slow drink of cool, clear spring water to a parched throat." See a YouTube video of the 2nd movement, as performed by students of Deerfield High School: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da5JtXJTLAI - For advanced performers.
