GOOD (STRING) VIBRATIONS
Our final recorded concert of the 2020-2021 season transcends a year of challenges to arrive in artistic triumph. The Chamber Orchestra completes its tour of Mozart’s three “Salzburg Symphonies” and turns to the modern but soulful music of Goossens and Jacob. Piano sensation Zahari Metchkov, celebrated professor at Colorado State University-Pueblo, lends his unique depth and gravitas to Gordon Jacob’s rarely heard but always surprising Piano Concerto No. 1. And the real heroes of this season—the strings of the Chamber Orchestra—end the season in the pure joy of Suk’s Serenade for Strings. We cannot thank them enough for bringing our community together in the essential experience of great music.

How will the video concerts work?
Our musicians will be recording on each originally-announced concert date in a private, physically-distanced session at First Christian Church. The final recording will include information about the repertoire, reflections on what it is like to perform in this time of Covid-19, and more! The concert videos will be made available to our subscribers via private link and you will be able to watch them at your convenience in the comfort of your own home. We hope you’ll sit and relax, grab something to eat and drink, and enjoy these performances, made just for you! In addition to the online video, each concert will be rebroadcast on KCME 88.7 FM. Tune in at 3 p.m. on the Sunday following each video release.
