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 Laurelmead in Providence, RI.
