Jessie Montgomery
[The Chelsea Symphony of Manhattan]
October 11, 2019
The second concert, Made of Stars, on The Chelsea Symphony's 2019/2020 season, RISE UP: Music that Inspires and Uplifts, on October 25 and 26 is a chamber orchestra concert featuring Jessie Montgomery's
Starburst, a work for string orchestra that plays on the imagery of
rapidly changing musical colors by using exploding gestures juxtaposed
with gentle fleeting melodies to create a multidimensional soundscape.
Starburst by Jessie Montgomery was
commissioned by the Sphinx Organization and premiered in 2012. Packing a
big punch in just three and a half minutes, it "reflects today's
fashionable motoric, pop-oriented, post-minimalist style, albeit with
memorable melodies, structural discipline, and not one cliché in the
book" (Classics Today).
