Music & Conversation with Danny Holt and Molly Gebrian

Description

On Friday, December 12th at 5:30pm, Danny Holt and Molly Gebrian will return to the Jesup for the second concert and lecture in the 2025 - 2026 “Music & Conversation” series. This event is offered in-person only. Longtime friends and musical collaborators Molly Gebrian (viola) and Danny Holt (piano) are known for their dynamic performances and their passion for shining a spotlight on lesser-known classical composers. Their recent album, Trailblazers, features Gebrian’s transcriptions of rarely heard cello sonatas by three female composers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The duo’s current program begins with the standout piece from that album: an intensely dramatic sonata by Dutch composer Henriëtte Bosmans. Contemporaneous works by Russian composer Sergei Vasilenko and British composer Elizabeth Maconchy round out the program, bringing a variety of rich romanticism, tender beauty, and rhythmic intensity.
