SHEPHERD SCHOOL OF MUSIC AT RICE UNIVERSITY
Our season finale uplifts voices that have been suppressed by totalitarian dogma and those silenced within ourselves. While Dutch-Jewish composer Dick Kattenburg perished in Auschwitz because of his faith, Robert Schumann perpetually battled and was ultimately defeated by the scourge of mental illness.
We welcome Netherlands-based composer Joey Roukens to the Bayou City for the world premiere of a commission for string quartet, inspired by the composer’s favorite Dutch folk songs.
*A portion of concert proceeds will benefit NAMI Houston, a Houston-based organization addressing families and persons affected by mental illness.
