We played the world premiere of Vincent Russo's full, four-movement work, Visions and Visitations.  Sketches of the first movement, Visions of Joan of Arc, have been performed, re-written and played again.  All four movements are musical depictions of visions, dreams, and visitations by angels.  They are:

I.   Visions of Joan of Arc

II.  Scherzo - Apocalypse:  Meidner's Visions

III. Passacaglia - Lincoln's Dream

IV.  Boehme's Vision - Aurora

Mr. Russo spoke at the performance about the historical and spiritual inspirations for the piece. It was an unusual and beautiful way to spend Mothers' Day afternoon!
