The Henry Hart Project:  Preview and Benefit

LYO has commissioned local composer, Rachel Grimes, to create new arrangements of popular dance music composed by Henry Hart, a 19th-century Kentucky-born African-American violinist and composer. The project will culminate in an April premiere performance by 300 LYO students.

Bella Adamova (mezzo-soprano) and Lisanne Soeterbroek (violin) are featured in this performance of “The Blue Hour” by the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra
