Dean Shelly Berg invites you to an evening of music by Academy Award winning composer John Corigliano at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County.

RITZ CHAMBER PLAYERS
Ritz Chamber Players
The Ritz Chamber Players is the nation's first ensemble composed solely of musicians spanning the African Diaspora. Lauded by the Baltimore Sun as "an irresistible and remarkable ensemble," the players perform the music of AntonÃn Dvorák-a Czech composer with an American sensibility. Dvorák wrote in 1893 that the future music of the United States would be founded upon Negro spirituals and much of his work, including the rhapsodic Piano Quartet No. 2, is flavored by the African-American musical heritage. Cellist Kenneth Law and pianist Terrence Wilson also perform the Cello Sonata of George Walker-the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize.
