  • MATTHEW KOCMIEROSKI Is Principal Percussionist with the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra
    Tonight’s program consists of contemporary works for viola and the pieces that inspired their creation. I wanted to build a concert around pieces of music that were not only engaging to perform and listen to, but PROGRAM also provided a creative spark for other composers. I have long been inspired by ATAR ARAD, my former viola teacher at Indiana University. A brilliant violist and teacher, he is also a wonderful composer. In 2003, Atar wrote a set of six solo viola caprices, each SONATA for viola and piano (1979) .................... GEORGE ROCHBERG having, more or less, a hidden quote from a well-known viola piece, Allegro moderato (1918-2005) using the composer’s first name as the title. The GEORGE in the title of Adagio lamentoso his fourth caprice, is George Rochberg.
