Join us in the beautiful sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church, Davenport for an evening of Cello and Organ music, featuring Masterworks I Guest Soloists Tommy Mesa and Greg Zelek, Principal Organist of the Madison Symphony Orchestra.
The program opens with Jules Massenet’s Meditation from Thaïs, which captures the essence of spiritual transformation, followed by Johann Sebastian Bach’s iconic Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, a composition that has captivated audiences for generations with its intricate harmonies and timeless beauty. The concert continues with Nadia Boulanger’s Trois Pièces, showcasing the lyrical beauty of the cello, and Alfred Lefébure-Wély’s dance-inspired Boléro de Concert, Op. 166. Adding a modern touch, the concert will close with Lydia Jane Pugh’s Irish folk-inspired Carolina’s Jig and Daniel Ficarri’s contemporary masterpiece Sonata for Cello and Organ.
