DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Hovhanhess, Tower, Higdon, Dvorák=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441152307=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2011-03-05=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2011-03-05=0D=0A=0D=0ARadius Ensemble's upcoming concert features three twentieth-century works by Americans, beginning with Alan Hovhanhess's Divertimento for winds (1947).  Then, Joan Tower's Amazon I (1977) explores the majesty of the Amazon river, from stillness to turbulence over its 4000 miles.  For the second half, Radius Ensemble's flutist Sarah Brady performs recent Pulitzer Prize-winner Jennifer Higdon's rapid*fire for solo flute (1992), a powerful portrayal of inner-city violence.  Finally, we travel back in time to 1875 for Antonin Dvorák's String Quintet No. 2 in G major, Op. 77.  This performance will include the extracted and rarely heard Intermezzo, which became the Nocturne in B major.   This concert is repeated on Sunday March 6 at 4 pm at Rivers School Conservatory in Weston.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:8:00 pm
