Join Philip for his program Scatter and Sway. A concert in motion—music that shimmers, shifts, and dances at the edge of control. Chabrier and Debussy sway with Spanish-inflected rhythms; Ginastera charges ahead with raw, percussive energy. Villa-Lobos drifts between nostalgia and sensuality, while Schubert grows from a whisper to a storm. A program of contrast, bound by motion, momentum, and flow.
