The program title for this Token Creek concert succinctly describes what listeners will hear: “Sonatas for Viola: Two World Premieres.” The new works were commissioned by violist Madlen Breckbill, a UW-Madison graduate who has played orchestral and chamber music around the world and closer to home, along with founding the Stoughton Chamber Music Festival. The premiering sonatas were written by Micah Behr and Nolan Veldey, and each will accompany Breckbill on his composition.
media release: Sonatas for Viola: Two World Premieres
Two sonatas for viola and piano receive world premiere performances!
Commissioned by violist Madlen Breckbill, these two works for viola and piano composed by Micah Behr and Nolan Veldey were completed early this year. This concert will mark the first public performance of these works, with both composers at the piano.
As music strengthens through familiarity, both new compositions will be performed twice, with a conversation with the composers and samples of earlier compositions in between.
Both Micah and Nolan are Madison based composers and creatives. Through their compositions, we get to know their musical perspectives and their understanding of the voice of the viola.
