Welcome to Songs of Loss and Hope, an online violin recital by Joshua Peckins, featuring music by Ravel, Bach and contemporary composer Jessie Montgomery, exploring the question: “What is the role of music and art during a time of pandemic and loss?”

This virtual concert includes music spanning four centuries (including our own!), and features Baroque dances, powerful laments, and a virtuosic rhapsody. Joshua Peckins, violinist, will also share stories and historical information about the pieces and the composers.

There is also a special appearance by composer Jessie Montgomery, introducing her piece, Rhapsody No. 1.

This digital concert is presented by the Weaver Library in East Providence, RI. To register, please visit www.eastprovidencelibrary.org or call 401-228-3903.
