Romance Oubliée for Viola and Piano, S. 527
Nokuthula Ngwenyama & Steven Vanhauwaert

Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979)
Morpheus for Viola and Piano
Nokuthula Ngwenyama & Steven Vanhauwaert

One of the great string quartets of our time joins with acclaimed viola virtuoso Nokuthula Ngwenyama for an invigorating evening of chamber music. From the finely wrought fantasia and fugue by Purcell and Bach, respectively, emerge the restless transcendence of Mozart’s G-minor string quintet and the smoldering drama of Mendelssohn’s late-period quintet in B-flat major.

Excited to meet and work with the students of professor Christine Rutledge!

Come hear Nokuthula Ngwenyama celebrate this fall’s release of Sonoran Storm with Bach and selections of her own compositions, including Rising.  This performance from her appearance at the 2018 National Citizen’s Leadership Conference for America Promise in Washington, D. C.:
