"True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time. My people are Americans and my time is today." George Gershwin

“Join the Sacramento Philharmonic, soloist Rachel Barton Pine and the Paradise Baptist Church Gospel Choir in a barrier-breaking concert experience from Maestro Michael Morgan and our great musicians.” "Rachel Barton Pine is described as 'An exciting and boundary-defying performer,' by the Washington Post. She is hailed as 'the most compelling American violinist of her generation,' and as 'technically jaw dropping,' by the New York Times and the Chicago Sun-Times. Barton Pine's artistry and life story are inspiring. She is bringing her musical fireworks to Sacramento, with Prokofiev's passionate Violin Concerto #1 and William Grant Still's blues inspired Suite for Violin and Orchestra.

“Currently in his 10th year as Music Director of the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra, Michael Morgan was born in Washington, D.C., where he attended public schools and began conducting at the age of 12.” [William Grant Still (1895-1978) is profiled at AfriClassical.com, which features a comprehensive Works List by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma of Lawrence University Conservatory]
