The Casella Sinfonietta brings faculty and student musicians together to explore that question through three vivid and contrasting works from the early 20th century. \n\n\n\nSilvestre Revueltas’ Homenaje a Federico García Lorca combines rhythmic vitality with an elegiac tribute to the Spanish poet. Paul Hindemith’s Der Schwanendreher draws inspiration from German folk melodies\, transforming them through inventive harmonies and virtuosic writing. Darius Milhaud’s La création du monde reflects the influence of jazz through syncopated rhythms\, colorful instrumentation\, and exuberant energy. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these works reveal modernism not as a single musical style\, but as a meeting place for cultural traditions\, experimentation\, and bold new forms of expression. \n\n\n\nBack to Program \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Soloist\nScott Rawls\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nViolist Scott Rawls has appeared as soloist and chamber musician throughout the United States\, Canada\, Mexico\, Japan\, and Europe.  Recent chamber music endeavors include performances with Dmitry Sitkovetsky\, Branford Marsalis\, Sergey Antonov\, Michelle Cann and the Reynolda Quartet.  With the Nikkanen/Rawls/Bailey string trio\, he has played tours in Alaska\, Washington\, Arizona and Texas.  His solo and chamber music recordings can be heard on the Centaur\, CRI\, Nonesuch\, Capstone\, and Philips labels.   \n\n\n\nA strong proponent of new music\, Rawls has premiered dozens of new works by prominent composers.  Most notable\, he has toured extensively as a member of Steve Reich and Musicians.  As the violist in this ensemble\, he performed the numerous premieres of Daniel Variations\, The Cave and Three Tales by Steve Reich and Beryl Korot\, videographer.
