Westchester Philharmonic: Majesty and Grace

Danail Rachev, conducting
Sterling Elliott, cello

Florence Price: Andante Moderato
Schumann: Cello Concerto
Beethoven: Symphony No. 1

Elliott is no longer a “rising star.” The 2021 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient has since performed with major orchestras across the country, including NY, Boston, Cleveland, and Los Angeles. Mid-century composer Florence Price was the first African-American woman to be recognized as a classical composer. Beethoven’s First Symphony pays homage to his forbearers, Haydn and Mozart, but is very distinctly Ludwig’s unique and powerful voice.
