Howard Presents: Violin Concerto No. 2 "Teshuah"

James Lee III, professor of music theory and composition at Morgan State University, is an accomplished pianist and composer widely praised for his work in both areas. He is viewed by notable musicians of our time as one of the most promising young contemporary composers. A son of the Great Lakes State, former student at Andrews University, and a graduate of the University of Michigan, Lee returns to premiere "Violin Concerto No. 2 'Teshuah'" performed by Carla Trynchuk, violin, and the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Chris Wild. In all of his writing, Lee aims to "compose music to reach the inner soul of the listener that elevates them regardless of race and religious affiliation."

James Lee's work will be performed by the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Chris Wild with guest soloist Carla Trynchuk on the violin.
