The MusicWorks Collective hopes you can join us for the first concert of Season 20!
For our first performance of the season we are very excited to offer a
program featuring three living composers! This program includes a
reprise of 12 Moods, composed by our dear friend Jessie
Montgomery and originally commissioned by CMW in 2015 to celebrate the
50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights movement. Written for 2 string
quartets plus double bass, the piece takes inspiration from Langston
Hughes’ Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz and as one might expect is beautifully evocative of both jazz music and a wide variety of moods.
