The varied program will present iconic classical works and related improvisations in a theme and variations style, newly composed jazz works for large and small ensemble, choose your own adventure style performances, and much more. Repertoire includes music by Beethoven, Prokofiev, Amy Bormet and more.

A Night in Paris
Join us for an intimate chamber orchestra performance celebrating the beauty of French music. Our program features Fauré’s delightfully delicate Pavane, as well as Ravel’s stunning orchestral arrangements of Debussy’s Sarabande and Danse. We are delighted that mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wòr will join us for Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’Été. Her voice and musicianship have exactly the kind of dusky warmth needed for a song cycle that follows the course of love: from youthful innocence, to loss and finally renewal. The concert will take a turn towards the surreal with Milhaud’s Le boeuf sur le toit, which portrays a motley crew of characters who frequent a Brazilian bar. Conducted by Victoria Gau
Guest Soloist, Magdalena Wòr
On the program:
Gabriel Fauré, Pavane, Op. 50
Hector Berlioz, Les Nuits d’Été, Op. 7
Claude Debussy, Sarabande, arr. Maurice Ravel
Jean Francaix, Sept Danses
Darius Milhaud, Le boeuf sur le toit, Op. 58
