Welcome! We are thrilled you’re joining us for this evening’s recital sponsored by the Saint Cecilia Series.
Thank you to our musical artists.

An innovative chamber ensemble dedicated to producing bold, collaborative musical events, Agarita offers a new way to experience classical and contemporary music. Founded by Daniel Anastasio (piano), Marisa Bushman (viola), Ignacio Gallego (cello) and Sarah Silver Manzke (violin), Agarita nourishes the local community through artistic collaborations, community engagement, and free, adventurous programming.

American composer John Harbison's November 19, 1828, which references the date of Franz Schubert's death, is a ghostly, poignant homage to the composer and his exploration of harmony and color. In this short program, Agarita pairs movements from Harbison's imaginative quartet with some of Schubert's own songs, arranged from voice and piano. The program ends with a sprawling fugue, started by Schubert and finished by Harbison; Harbison's modern harmonic language is unmistakable, but so is the profound spirit of Schubert.
