Scrumdiddlyumptious: Adventures on the Violin and Viola

Add some excitement to your week at this "scrumidddlyumptious" concert, featuring faculty performing artists Annierose Klingbeil and Rose Baker.

This evening features whimsical and adventurous music for violin and viola, including Michael-Thomas Foumai's piece "Scrumdiddlyumptious", inspired by Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Movements like "The Everlasting Double-Triple-Quadruple Stopper”, “Fugue Factory,” and “Bucket Blues” remind kids and adults of how fun music can be.

Before "Scrumdiddlyumptious," we'll hear Timo Andres’ Three Suns, Adolphus Hailstork’s Divertimento for Violin and Viola, Max Reger’s Romantic work Suite for Solo Viola in E Minor, and select keyboard inventions by Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged for violin and viola by Ferdinand David.

Each piece is full of moments you won't expect - creative ways to hear the violin and viola that expand our ideas of what's possible with our instruments.

A New Lens concerts are free to attend, and all are welcome. A $20 suggested donation supports the series and performers.
