The rhythmic precision that Artist in Residence Stewart Goodyear brings to his playing is also at the core of his compositions. His Serenade for Strings serves as a fitting complement to Julia Perry’s Prelude for Strings. Perry’s 1946 meditation offers a sonorous solace to the soul, providing a moment of introspection and beauty. The concerts conclude with the remarkable First Symphony by Felix Mendelssohn, composed when he was just 15 years old, showcasing the precocious brilliance of his youthful talent.
