Fermata Chamber Soloist veteran Alex Fowler presents Max Bruch’s haunting one movement work for cello and orchestra, Kol Nidrei or “All Vows.” This mysterious piece utilizes an Aramaic prayer sung at the beginning of Yom Kippur, the hallowed day of atonement. Ottorino Resphighi’s Il Tramonto, for voice and string quartet, is a deeply affective work that tells the story of two lovers and their tragic fate.
