This event is in-person only and will not be live-streamed.
A Little Choctaw Music: Chamber Music of Charles Shadle gathers together several recent works by the MIT composer. The gifted young Choctaw guitarist, Alexander Lassa, will give the Boston premiere of a work he commissioned, Wheelock Variations. This monumental work for solo guitar is a series of variations on the Choctaw shaped-note hymn Vba Isht Taloa 139 (Choctaw Hymn 139), and celebrates the return of the historic Wheelock Church (the oldest house of worship in Oklahoma) to the Choctaw Nation. In addition to performances by pianist Shalun Li (A Tale of My Native Land No.4), and cellist Leo Eguchi (Iti Fabvssa), the concert will conclude with a performance of the lively and energetic A Little Choctaw Music, performed by the Jamaica Plain Saxophone Quartet.
