PARTS OF THE WHOLE

Saturday, October 1 at 7:30 p.m. | Rollins Studio at the Long Center

The ACO will open the 2022-23 season with a chamber music concert in the Rollins Studio Theatre located in the Long Center for the Performing Arts. This intimate venue is perfect for showcasing the different sections of the orchestra: strings, brass, percussion, and woodwinds. The program includes music by Alfieri, Barber, Berlioz, Dvořák, Grainger, and Mozart.

Held on Saturday, October 1, come at 7:05 p.m. to listen to Assistant Conductor, W.P. Sterneman’s preconcert talk.  The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Theatre.

Program:

  • Antonín Dvořák: Serenade in Dm, Op. 44 for winds

  • Hector Berlioz/H. Kamioka: Trio for Two Flutes and Harp from L’Enfance du Christ
  • John Alfieri: Fanfare for Tambourines
  • Percy Grainger/T. Higgins: Lincolnshire Posy for Brass Ensemble and Percussion
  • Samuel Barber: Adagio for Strings, Op. 11
  • W.A. Mozart: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, K 525

The ACO continues to embrace the classics as well as explore the future. In order for classical music to truly realize its potential as a relevant and important art form it must embrace its future as much as its past. With this in mind, the ACO will maintain its commitment to experiment with programming that presents beloved classics alongside new and/or eclectic works, some of which might be considered off-beat, cross-genre, or even radical.
