About

Dr. Paula Grissom-Broughton, musicologist and pianist, will lead students in exploring the evening's ASO repertoire — Ellington's The Three Black Kings, Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2, and Elgar's Enigma Variations. Drawing from both scholarly research and lived experience at the keyboard, she'll invite students to consider how composers use sound to express identity and emotion within their cultural moment. The session will be hosted by Monique Osorio, Teaching Artist with the ASO Education Department, and will feature a performance by a teen musician from the ASO Talent Development Program.
