Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – Serenade for Strings in C major, Op. 48
One of the leading musical luminaries of Paris in the late 1700s, Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges enthralled audiences as a violinist, composer and conductor. His second symphony is an energetic and charming work for strings, oboes and horns, which also served as an overture to one of his operas. Valerie Coleman’s wind quintet, Umoja, which means "unity" in Swahili, is a fitting celebration of our ability to gather once again for the communal experience of hearing live music. The woodwind sound of the Coleman is contrasted by the symphonic nature of Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings, bringing the concert to a thrilling conclusion.
The livestream will take place at 8pm Central / 6pm Pacific.
