On Saturday, Juventas New Music Ensemble will perform Oliver’s trio “Connect All. We All Connect.” The piece sets poignant lyrics by Master Palindromist Barry Duncan, probing the strength and fragility of human connection.

Anne Howarth commissioned Connect All for soprano, horn and piano. In this performance, the horn line has been transcribed for Wolcott Humphrey on clarinet.  Soprano Kelley Hollis and pianist Julia Carey will round out the ensemble.

The concert, entitled “Emergence,” celebrates Juventas’s 15th anniversary. The program pairs the music of three emerging composers with works by the luminaries who inspired them. Oliver’s piece will be performed alongside music by his former teacher Dalit Warshaw.  The other composer-teacher pairs are Jonathan Bailey Holland and Aaron Wyanski, and Michael Gandolfi and Kathryn Salfelder.
