In a nutshell, this music is mostly jazzy or minimalist, and I find each style contrasts nicely with the other. When I chose these selections, I wasn't originally looking for much of a theme; all were pieces I wanted to play, and it made sense to group them together since they're all composed in America.
Our next Music with Grace concert is
Friday, March 14, with concert
pianist Jocelyn
Swigger.
Jocelyn Swigger is Associate
Professor of Music and Coordinator of Keyboard Studies at the Sunderman
Conservatory of Gettysburg College. She has also taught at Fort Lewis
College, the Hochstein Music School, CUNY Queensborough, and Adelphi
University, and played as accompanist for the Manhattan School of Music,
the Castleman Quartet Program, the Boys Choir of Harlem, and the Juilliard
School. She has regularly appeared as performer and teacher at the Ameropa
chamber music festival in the Czech Republic and Spain, and she spent the
summer of 2008 on a Fulbright Scholar Teaching Grant in Asuncion,
Paraguay. She holds undergraduate degrees from Oberlin College and Oberlin
Conservatory, and master's and doctoral degrees from the Eastman School of
Music. Principal teachers: Rebecca Penneys and Evelyne Brancart. Her
