An evening of chamber music featuring Hamilton Cheifetz, Julia H. Lee, and guest artists performing works by Beethoven, Schubert, and Schumann. This event supports PSUâs String Ensemble Community Outreach program, which arranges student performances at prisons and retirement communities.
This concert includes one intermission.
Under the direction of Kevin A. Lefohn, the Pacific Philharmonic presents a vibrant program featuring works by Bohemian-born Johann Stamitz and twentieth-century British composers Benjamin Britten and Peter Warlock. Stamitzâs charming Symphony in G Major âMannheimâ showcases the dramatic contrasts and orchestral innovations that helped shape the Classical symphony. Drawing on melodies he composed as a child, Brittenâs spirited Simple Symphony, Op. 4, combines playful energy with lyrical warmth, while Warlockâs colorful and fiery Capriol Suite brings the dances of the Renaissance vividly to life through imaginative harmonies and driving rhythms.
