I’m very excited to bring him to play with us.
Lerner performed the concerto with Leleu in Brazil last spring with the Orquestra Sinfônica do Rio Grande do Norte, which Lerner also conducts. It was the second time he and Leleu worked together; the first was right before the pandemic, when Leleu was part of the 2020 Gramado in Concert Festival Internacional de Música that Lerner led in his native Brazil.
Lerner paired “Convergences” on a program that includes Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture, a medley of rowdy student drinking songs written as a tongue-in-cheek thank you to the University of Breslau for giving him an honorary doctor of philosophy degree. The university cited him as being “the foremost composer of serious music in Germany” in the late 1870s and wanted him to write a piece commemorating the honor.
