The concept of ma\, of empty space\, influences the structure and sound of these pieces. \nYoshimatsu describes the Pleiades Dances IV (1992) as “a new form of preludes for the modern piano.” This set is a study of pedal points\, the subtle counterpoint dancing around the fixed notes. \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

Bach’s enduring influence is celebrated in Busoni’s immortal piano transcription of the Chaconne from the Second Violin Partita\, a work that became an instant staple of the repertoire. Gubaidulina passionately reimagines the continuous variation form in her 1962 Chaconne. Throughout her life\, she felt a profound affinity with Bach\, especially in their shared fascination with number\, numerical symbolism\, and his chorales—elements that resonate strikingly and form the very foundation of her own Chaconne. Together\, these works chart a lineage of innovation—composers who\, like Debussy and Gubaidulina\, forged unconventional paths of timbral and structural exploration. \nThe journey culminates in Ralf Yusuf Gawlick’s Mysterium doloris quintae (Tropen-Kreuz)\, a meditation on the crucifixion that takes shape as a musical cruciform. Quotations from Bach\, Mozart\, and children’s songs from around the world intersect within an aural cross that binds Christ’s suffering to the pain of all innocents. Bach’s Mache dich\, mein Herze\, rein and the Crucifixus stand at its core\, while Mozart’s K.414 Andante and Contessa perdono introduce moments of purity\, mercy\, and forgiveness. Suspended between recitations of the Ave Maria plainchant\, the work collapses past and present\, revealing Golgotha as an ever-present reality wherever innocence suffers. In this cruciform\, suffering is transformed into a space where grace\, mercy\, and hope break through\, embodying Christ’s words: “Let the children come to me\, and do not prevent them. For such is the kingdom of heaven.” \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 October 25\, 20257:30 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 \n\nLuth Concert Hall URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/a-century-of-piano-music/ LOCATION:DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC – Luth 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/2025/08/liudmila-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251028T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251028T153000 DTSTAMP:20260408T135023 CREATED:20250829T182448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250917T172307Z UID:5189-1761665400-1761665400@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Rasa String Quartet: Chamber Music Masterclass* DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Rasa String Quartet\n \n \n \n \n \n Chamber Music Masterclass\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n*Funded by The Patrick E.

Rasa has collaborated with renowned folk artists like Celtic harpist Maeve Gilchrist\, Irish fiddler Liz Carroll\, and singer-songwriter Judy Collins\, and have performed across the U.S. and abroad at events like the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition\, Celebrity Series of Boston\, Newport Classical\, Rockport Music\, Jordan Hall\, and the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival. \nTheir love of teaching has led to educational residencies at Bowdoin College\, Walnut Hill School for the Arts\, UMass Dartmouth\, and Boston Music Project\, among others. By exploring the connection between music and storytelling at the heart of folk traditions\, Rasa delivers fresh\, engaging performances that blend classical elegance with folk charm\, celebrate global musical roots\, and highlight underrepresented composers. In Sanskrit\, the term rasa refers to the indescribable power of art to move\, inspire\, and connect us—a quality Rasa String Quartet strives to embody in every performance. \nFind out more at rasastringquartet.com \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 October 28\, 20253:30 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 \n\nBrooks Concert Hall URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/rasa-string-quartet-chamber-music-masterclass/ LOCATION:DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC – 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/2025/08/rasa-string-quartet-fall-2025.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251028T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251028T200000 DTSTAMP:20260408T135023 CREATED:20250821T201334Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250917T172217Z UID:5047-1761681600-1761681600@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Rasa String Quartet | Soundtrack to a Nightmare* DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Rasa String Quartet\n \n \n \n \n \n Soundtrack to a Nightmare\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n*Funded by The Patrick E.
