In Kati Agócs’ own words, “Devotion means a state of being ardently, affectionately dedicated and loyal to a person or idea; the word, usually in plural, also connotes a private religious observance or prayer.” Commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2014, her piece by the same title explores these two meanings with striking intimacy and depth. Also featured on the program are two central works of the string orchestra repertoire: Grieg’s genre-defining neoclassical masterpiece, the Holberg Suite, and Dvořák’s sweeping, lyrical, and exuberant Serenade for Strings.
