27th Season: 2010-2011

Season Premiere
October 9 and 10

Franz Joseph Haydn:  Symphony No. 73 in D Major “La chasse”
Maurice Ravel:  Piano Concerto in G Major
     With Guest Artist Kelly Zuercher
Ludwig van Beethoven:  Symphony No. 8 in F Major, op. 9

The 27th season of the Chamber Orchestra of the Springs opens in good humor with Haydn’s Symphony No. 73 “The Hunt,” one of his most joyous and witty works. Kelly Zuercher joins the Chamber Orchestra to revisit the Ravel Piano Concerto, a jazz-influenced piece, that shaped Zuercher’s early career. Rounding out the festivities is Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony—an unlikely comic symphony written by the great composer just before changing the world of music with his Ninth Symphony.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:  Symphony No. 41 in C Major, K551, Jupiter

Revolutionary poet Arthur Rimbaud rocked the world of poetry with his Illuminations, which inspired Benjamin Britten to write a song cycle based upon the poems.  Two other musical revolutionaries, Mendelssohn and Mozart, round out this program with pieces that changed music forever.  Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto redefined the genre, while Mozart’s Jupiter symphony brought symphonic form to a new level.
