STRUM & DANCE
In easily one of the funnest concert experiences ever, we open in full strum and dance our way to the finale. Rising, edgy sensation Jessie Montgomery fuses dance rhythms from around the world while William Grant Still cools things off in a beautiful serenade with just a hint of jazz. The Chamber Orchestra continues its exploration of the seasons with perhaps the most exotic season cycle by the Argentinian Tango King, Astor Piazzolla, joined by our dear friend Susan Grace on piano. The program ends with the humorous and playful Suite for Strings by Frank Bridge, arguably the best English string suite. This program doesn’t just have a little something for everyone; it’s all you could ask for in a musical adventure.

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 concert videos will be made available to our subscribers via private link on Sunday, September 27; Sunday, October 25; and Sunday, November 22; 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.
