The Brigham Young University-Idaho Music Department’s Chamber
Orchestra will perform in concert October 6 and 7, beginning at
7:30 p.m. each night, in the Barrus Concert Hall.
The
Chamber Orchestra is the combination of three groups – the
Chamber Brass, Chamber Strings and Chamber Winds. All three
groups are made up of music majors.
The group
will perform different programs each night. The first night,
October 6, will first feature the Chamber Winds performing
dectets by Soler and Raff and quintets by Beethoven and Danzi.
Then, the Chamber Brass will perform works by Gabrielli, Handel
and Benjamin Britten. The final part of the evening will feature
the full Chamber Orchestra performing Franz Schubert’s Symphony
no. 8, often referred to as the “Unfinished Symphony”.
The second
night’s concert includes the Chamber Strings performing Elgar’s
Serenade for Strings and the Don Quixote Suite by Telemann. Then
the group will perform short works for strings by Sibelius,
Faure, Phillip Glass and a “rock” piece called Skylife by David
Balakrishnan of the Turtle Island String Quartet. The group will
conclude the night by playing Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony.”
This will be done without a conductor in an effort to teach the
group to listen more carefully and to work as a unit.
Ticket
costs for both concerts are $2 for non-students and $1 for
students.
