The French word “durabilité” is far more complex than its most common German translation: “sustainable”. "Durabilité" translated into English, is "durable" – like Ernest Chausson's Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Quartet or César Franck's Piano Quintet. The word also stands for the courage and steadfastness that Robert Dett demonstrated as the first Black American composer to complete the Bachelor of Music degree at Oberlin. And especially in situations On the Edge, as living composer Amanda Harberg musically expresses them, durabilité is of enormous value. Listen to our performance and you too will be assured of the longevity of art!
