The elegance and refinement of the chamber orchestra provide a sparkling clarity for this most intimate program of beautiful music. Grieg’s miniature masterpiece, the Holberg Suite, will begin the program with its exciting bursts of romantic virtuosity coupled with its delicate folk themes. Next up, and for all you lovers out there, Richard Wagner’s gorgeous Siegfried Idyll—a love song presented to his wife Cossima on Christmas Day, 1870. The program concludes as we welcome former concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony Andrés Cárdenes, as he teams up with former student, and our very own Carrie Krause, performing one of the most cherished works in all the symphonic repertoire; Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante.
