Grammy Award-winning Parker Quartet, in partnership with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, will perform two chamber music series this season in downtown Saint Paul and downtown Minneapolis.
Tickets are no longer available for the 5/19 performance at Colonial Church.
We welcome you to experience the SPCO for the first time completely free in this program featuring an inspired sampling of works for chamber orchestra. Treat yourself to the rich and kaleidoscopic chamber music of Beethoven, the impassioned and romantic utterances of Puccini’s The Chrysanthemums for String Orchestra and Rossini’s beloved Overture to The Barber of Seville. The program culminates with Haydn’s 22nd Symphony, one of the finest symphonic works of the Classical period by the chief innovator of the Classical style.
This program juxtaposes works by Mozart, genius of the Classical period, and the modernist master Edgard Varèse. SPCO Principal Flutist Julia Bogorad-Kogan will take the spotlight as soloist on Varèse’s iconic Density 21.5. The program, led by renowned conductor Hans Graf, also features the brilliant virtuoso Jeffrey Kahane in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25 and concludes with Mozart’s riveting G minor Symphony No. 40.
Saturday's concert will be broadcast live on Classical Minnesota Public Radio, 99.5 FM in the Twin Cities.
