LACO Eastside Orchestral Series: Montgomery, Mozart, + R. Strauss

• Claire Brazeau, oboe
• Joshua Ranz, clarinet
• Kenneth Munday, bassoon
• Michael Thornton, French horn

Dynamic composer and educator Jessie Montgomery writes musical techniques that utilizes layers of strumming and lightly plucking strings in her piece, Strum for string orchestra. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major then introduces LACO’s principal winds as soloists creating a union between the oboe, bassoon, clarinet, and horn. The program culminates with R. Strauss’ high spirited orchestral suite Le Bourgeois gentilhomme.
