From the lyrical charm of Nino Rota to the rhythmic spark of De Falla’s Spanish Dance and Iturralde’s Pequeña Czarda, this program is full of color, character, and momentum. Also featuring several works by Chicago composers including Seth Boustead’s Three for Zhou B., Amos Gillespie’s The Entertainment of Being, Soul Food, and Maloik, and a highlight of the evening is the second performance of Larry Axelrod’s Thunder Dragon —written especially for Lakeshore Rush.  Rooted in Chicago and dedicated to championing the music of living composers and forgotten chamber music masterpieces, Lakeshore Rush brings curiosity, energy, and heart to everything they play. Join them for a concert of groove-driven new music, bold contemporary textures, and some seriously good playing!
