"Classically Cello"

The Estes Park Music Festival's "Sounds of Summer" opening concert featuring cellist Julie Albers and the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra conducted by Jean-Marie Zeitouni.

Classically Cello: An evening of sublime works by Mozart, Bach, and Haydn. The program opens with Mozart's Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, one of the most recognizable works in opera. Estimable cellist and Colorado native Julie Albers follows as the featured soloist in Haydn's lively, charming Cello Concerto No. 2 in D Major. The evening's second half highlights Bach's use of the cello in his third Brandenburg Concerto, and finishes with a return to Mozart for his Symphony No. 31, "Paris." To conclude, Jean-Marie and the Colorado Music Festival cello section will present a special encore.
