In short
Derek Reeves appears as a viola soloist with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic on a chamber program called Colors of the Soul. Our directory has no independent information about him beyond this listing, so this page describes the program itself rather than his own career.
What to listen for
The program's chamber centerpiece is Mozart's String Quartet No. 19, nicknamed the 'Dissonance' quartet for its strange, unsettled opening bars before it resolves into bright, conventional Mozart, scored for two violins, viola and cello. The viola part sits in the middle of the texture, filling out harmony and occasionally taking a melodic turn between the violins and cello. The program also includes Gaubert's flute-centered Trois aquarelles, rounding out an evening built around close chamber playing rather than a single soloist feature.
