Experience the piquant, dance-inspired music of Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin, a superb orchestral suite that shows off the virtuosity of the WCCO players. Eli Kalman adds his own virtuosity to Composer-in-Residence Brooke Joyce’s reflective and colorful October Skies, a concertino for piano & orchestra. Mendelssohn’s... popular masterwork, the Symphony #4, Italian, inspired by the composer’s travels in Italy, brings the season to a spirited, sunny close.

Join the WCCO strings for a Sunday Serenade at the First Congregational Church’s beautiful and acoustically resonant space. Featured are Ben Brecher, tenor, and Bruce Atwell, Oshkosh’s own magnificent horn player in the hauntingly beautiful Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings by Benjamin Britten, with lyrics drawn fro...m Shakespeare and other well known English texts. Osvaldo Golijov’s brisk, tango-inspired Last Round opens the concert. The orchestra acts as an idealized bandoneon, a small accordion-like instrument essential for any Tango ensemble, the first movement representing the violent compression of the instrument and the second a final, seemingly endless opening sigh. The popular Serenade for Strings, which Tchaikovsky describes as "a piece from the heart," lends a romantic ending to what promises to be a truly memorable afternoon!
* Osvaldo Golijov: Last Round (1996)
* Britten: Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, Op. 31
* Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings, Op. 48
Time:2:30PM Sunday, January 31st
