Shostakovich’s Cello Sonata\, a classical example of a composer writing music grappling with the political environment of his time\, is paired with a selection from his student\, Galina Ustvolskaya’s “Grand Duet\,” a work that challenges the normative compositional and musical boundaries of her time. \nTogether\, these works take us on a musical journey of resistance and creativity in the face of oppression\, ranging from cosmic\, soaring melodies\, to angry\, hammering\, defiance. In the words of Ustvolskaya herself: “The important thing is that the music is genuine and strong.” \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n February 7\, 202612 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCantor Art Gallery3rd Floor\, Prior Performing Arts Center URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/homecoming-concert-cello-piano/ LOCATION:Iris & B.

The concert includes the premiere performance of Jaskot’s Florescence\, which is inspired by a short excerpt of text from Sufi mystic Bawa Muhaiyadeen (translated by Coleman Barks): “You’re the meaning that blooms in the heart. In this world of flowers\, in the next world.” \nJoin us as we navigate through musical terrain to explore florescence in many forms. Sonic blooms\, fluid harmonies\, moments of stillness\, and rhythmic intensity are just a few ways that the evening’s repertoire will transport you to another sound-world full of new and fascinating discoveries! \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n February 10\, 20267:30 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Brooks Concert Hall URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/semiosis-quartet-residency/ LOCATION:Brooks Concert Hall\, 1 College St.\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/semiosis-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260215T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260215T150000 DTSTAMP:20260525T004254 CREATED:20260115T214530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260115T214531Z UID:5837-1771167600-1771167600@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Holy Cross Chapel Artist Series: American Guild of Organists (Worcester Chapter) DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n American Guild of Organists (Worcester Chapter)\n \n \n \n \n \n Holy Cross Chapel Artist Series\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nJoin us for this Chapel Artist Series presentation featuring Robert Potterton\, Robin Dinda and Andrew Sheranian\, all members of the Worcester Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n February 15\, 20263 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nSt. Joseph Memorial Chapel URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/holy-cross-chapel-artist-series-american-guild-of-organists-worcester-chapter/ LOCATION:St. Joseph Memorial Chapel\, 1 College St.\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/chapel-artist-series-organ-2026-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260218T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260218T120000 DTSTAMP:20260525T004254 CREATED:20260113T203157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260203T200314Z UID:5702-1771416000-1771416000@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Lunchtime Concert: Blue in the Beehive DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Blue in the Beehive\n \n \n \n \n \n Lunchtime Concert Series\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nChaney Goldstein ‘28\, saxophoneChris Maratea ‘28\, bassSean Dooley ‘29\, piano \nJoin us for a lunchtime set of jazz standards performed by Chaney Goldstein (saxophone)\, Sean Dooley (piano)\, and Chris Maratea (bass)\, and incorporating styles such as swing\, ballads\, Latin and funk. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n February 18\, 202612 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThe BeehivePrior Performing Arts Center URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/lunchtime-concert-goldstein-dooley-maratea/ LOCATION:The Beehive in The Prior\, 1 College St.\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/beehive-lunch-concert-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260219T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260219T193000 DTSTAMP:20260525T004254 CREATED:20260113T205612Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260203T200404Z UID:5709-1771529400-1771529400@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Brooks Scholars Concert DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Brooks Scholars Concert\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nSophie Rose Riopel ‘29\, saxophoneLogan Sherwin Kornilov ‘28\, pianoJohn Hannagan ‘28\, button accordion Robert Gardner ‘26\, piano \nThe Brooks Scholarship is a four-year\, full tuition scholarship offered to a music major or double major in music and another discipline.
