Greenwich Village Orchestra: Seascapes
Debussy's La Mer evokes the sea in all its moods, from dappled stillness to storms, while Vaughan Williams' Norfolk Rhapsody draws on the music of the people who live their life by the sea. Star percussionist Britton-Rene Collins brings out the Brazilian rhythms and South American melodies of Rosauro's Marimba Concerto. Music Director Barbara Yahr and Associate Conductor Eric Mahl share the podium.
Hailed as an "Astounding Virtuoso" and "Exhilarating" performer, percussionist Britton-Rene Collins is a winner of the 2020 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition, receiving the Ambassador Prize for her exceptional musicianship and demonstrated passion for creating social change in her endeavors as both an educator and performer. A Grand Prize winner of the 2022 Yamaha Young Performing Artists Competition and the 2021 Chicago International Music Competition, Britton-Rene has performed as a soloist in the United States, Canada, and Europe, collaborating with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the Meridian Symphony Orchestra, the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra, and the University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and many others. In addition to her active solo career, Britton-Rene enjoys life as a chamber musician and co-director with her New York City-based groups "Excelsis Percussion Quartet" and "Vision Duo." Her upcoming chamber collaborations include touring with the Sphinx Virtuosi, where she will premiere a new work by Curtis Stewart.
