P. Kellach Waddle celebrates the violin with Jessica Mathaes
One instrument at a time, award-winning Austin composer P. Kellach Waddle has been offering concerts of his compositions.
Now, it’s the violin’s turn and Waddle has enlisted the considerable talents of Jessica Mathaes, concert mistress for the Austin Symphony Orchestra, to play the premiere of several new pieces this Sunday.
True to his penchant for long titles, the always colorful ever-prolific Waddle again delights. Here’s the program:
• Two Lyric Pieces for Solo Violin:
— The Mist in the September Wine: Aria-Bagatelle for Solo Violin
— On Passing Texas Churches At Mystic Sunset: Hymn for Solo Violin
• Bottled Dreams in Liquid Oak: Sonata-Ballade in One Movement for Bass and Violin
• Staring At the Unremembering Moonlight: Elegy for Violin and Piano
• The Attack and Reign of the Broken Stained Glass Angels: Trio Gloratio for Violin, Viola and Piano
• The Flowers of Darkness: Sonata in forma di 4 Legendes for Solo Violin
Joining Waddle and Mathaes on the program is pianist Nikki Birdsong along with guest composer and violist Lawrence Wheeler. Wheeler will play two of his own works.
