We open our 25th Anniversary Season with a true musical extravaganza! Dazzling violin soloist Hye-Jin Kim and a chamber orchestra of nearly twenty take the stage to perform a sensational pairing of selections from Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons alongside Astor Piazzolla’s Argentinian companion work, the sultry, tango-inspired Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. Two short movements from Edward Elgar and Antonín Dvořák complete the conductor-less orchestra’s portion of the concert. Rounding out the program is an example of the intimate and dramatic chamber music for which we’re known: Ernő Dohnányi’s stunning Piano Quintet in C Minor. Featuring some of history’s most iconic music, this concert is not-to-be-missed!
