Dan Locklair’s In Memory – H.H.L. for organ will receive its World Premiere performance by the composer on Sunday, June 29 - 7:00 PM at Ardmore Baptist Church, 501 Miller St. in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The program is part of the Sounds of the Summer concert series. Mr. Locklair will also perform his Celebration (Variations for Organ) and Dance the Joy! (Toccata for Organ). The program will be performed on the church’s Reuter Organ, Op.2219, 2003. Other performers on the June 29 program are Norris Norwood and Regina Pozzi. Locklair writes, “In Memory – H.H.L., for string orchestra was composed in late Summer 2005. In February 2014, this organ solo version of the piece was created. In Memory - H.H.L. bears the following dedication: In loving memory of my mother, Hester Helms Locklair (1918-2005). Conductor Kirk Trevor has said about the orchestral version of the work, “After the first read-through of In Memory – H.H.L. I realized we had found a worthy successor to the Barber Adagio… After recording it, I was even more convinced that [the work] has a real place in the standard…literature.” The June 29 event is free and open to the public.
