MID-WEEK MUSICAL INTERLUDES #11

Hi, my name is Melissa Givens, Assistant Professor of Music at Pomona College in Claremont, California, and I'd like to welcome you to “Mid-Week Musical Interludes,” our podcast series featuring an array of glorious new and not-so-new works as recently performed by faculty, guests and students of Pomona College. For more information on the music from our podcasts please visit us at pomona.edu/musicpodcast, and music podcast is all one word.

Faculty pianist Jennie Jung is joined by Los Angeles Philharmonic violinist Jin-Shan Dai in two beautiful selections this week. They open our episode with the second movement of the Sonata for Violin and Piano, Opus 18, by Richard Strauss, and that will be followed by Jules Massenet’s much-loved Méditation, or Meditation, from his opera Thaïs.
